Recognition for a child artiste

To come in the news for excellence in one's chosen vocation is not in the fate of every Tom, Dick and Harry. But Tanvi Rao, has created ripples of headlines over her mastery in the nuances of the art form, namely Bharatanatyam.

Apart from the scores of trophies won at various places in India, she recently bagged the 'Apoorva Balapratibhe' title crowned by none other than Shri Veerendra Heggade. She took to dance at the age of five and has given a number of performances in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. She's participated in various competitions at the state and National- level and emerged with flying colors.

What is unique about her dancing skills is that she choreographs her own steps. Her mother explains to her the meaning of songs and she would like to become a professional dance choreographer in future.

Her teachers at school, the St. Agnes English Primary School which she attends are proud of her and laud her achievements. They give her holidays and her classmates bask in her glory as they help her with when she is absent.
