Rohan Ravirala

Apprentice Dancer

Rohan began learning Kuchipudi with Yamini Kalluri at the Kritya School of Dance in 2022. He first started dancing through Raas/Garba in college but later pursued classical dance to reconnect with his Telugu heritage. As a Kritya student, he had the opportunity to perform this summer at the inaugural New York Kuchipudi Dance Festival and at various cultural events at his university. Since starting Kuchipudi, he has found a passion for classical dance and hopes to perform a Rangapravesham someday.

In 2022, Rohan graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Biochemistry. He currently lives in San Francisco, where he works as a Clinical Research Coordinator at UCSF School of Medicine.
