About Arohi

Arohi Dandawate began learning Kuchipudi under Smt. Divya Yeluri (Nritya Madhavi School of Dance, Edison, NJ) at the age of seven, going on to complete her dance debut in August 2022. Since then, Arohi has continued her Kuchipudi journey under the mentorship of Kum. Yamini Kalluri (Kritya School of Dance) and has integrated her study of Indian folk dance under Smt. Madhavi Devasthale (Nupur School of Dance) and Odissi under Kum. Prithvi Nayak (Bengaluru, India) into her practice. Arohi has performed in several esteemed venues such as the White House (Washington D.C., USA) and Birla Science Centre (Telangana, India). She has played a variety of roles in different dance dramas, performing as a group and as an award winning solo artist widely across the tristate area. She has recently begun developing her own compositions, Dawn on the Fall Equinox and bzz bzz...In the Queen‘s Cabinet, inspired by the divinity in seemingly mundane experiences.

 

Arohi has committed herself to the arts, studying classical Piano under Ms. Elena Leonova at the Mannes Preparatory School (NYC) and later under Prof. Scott Cuellar at Oberlin Conservatory. Apart from her artistic endeavours, Arohi works as a postgraduate research associate at the Yale School of Medicine.
