The Guru

Smt Dr Uma Malar Muthukrishnan started dancing at the age of seven at Padmini Kala Alayam. She completed her arangetram under the tutelage of Smt Apsara Ram Gopal (disciple of Kalakshetra) in Malaysia after marriage in 2006. She is married to Sri Muthukrishnan Renganathan who is a mridangist. He is a discipline of Adyar K. Gopinath. He is a multi-talented percussionist who learnt tabla from guru Sri Shailendra Mishra and at present he is learning western classical flute in Leeds.

 

Upon completing her arangetram, Smt Dr Uma enrolled herself in Kalai Kaviri, Trichy and achieved first class award in Diploma of Bharathanatyam. She took up nattuvangam lessons from the late Guru Adyar Laksman in 2010. Her love for abhinaya gave her an opportunity to learn abhinaya lessons from Guru Indira Kadambi in 2012. She left Malaysia in 2014 to pursue her doctoral degree in Leeds. At present, she teaches Bharathanatyam for kids, adults and working professionals in groups, personal and online lessons.

She has performed in various television, stage, corporate and charity events in Malaysia, India and the UK. She has proved her multi-talents as a devotional singer, voice-over artist, stage play actress and a popular television presenter for Astro Vaanavil, Malaysia broadcasting channel in her early 20s.

She continues to pursue her passion for artistic and creative activities with fervour. In July 2019, she received a bursary from Imperial Society Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) London for a Diploma in Dance Education. She believes that age should never be a barrier to achieve dreams.

Rasa Performing Arts comprises of Kalasri for dance lessons and Kalasruthi for music lessons. Kalasri was named by Guru Apsara Ramgopal with her blessings.

She's so inspiring and I am always looking forward to my Friday evening dance class every week
