We're honoured to welcome Santanu Chakraborty — a celebrated Bharatanatyam dancer, Natyacharya, and choreographer — for an inspiring conversation on his journey through dance.

A disciple of Padma Vibhushan Dr. Sonal Mansingh and Guru V. Krishnamoorthi, Santanu Dada has travelled the world sharing the beauty of Bharatanatyam through performances, lec-dems, and workshops at major festivals across India and abroad.

From Ujjain to Cambodia, Jaipur to Canada — his artistry has graced some of the most prestigious stages and sacred spaces. His recent Jugalbandis and educational work with differently abled children are a testament to his commitment to inclusivity and tradition.

🎤 Join us as we learn more about his dance journey, teaching philosophy, global experiences, and creative inspirations.
