Namaskar, I am Santrupti Margad. I am a Kathak dancer, performer, and instructor. My love for Kathak started in 2008 when I came across Mrs. Bratati Saha in Ashburn, VA and was fortunate enough to start my journey in Kathak under her and still be associated with Arpan Dance Academy. With her blessings I had the opportunity to perform at several cultural and corporate events across Virgina, Maryland and at the AKKA World Kannada Conference at Edison, NJ. 
​
Over the years I got personal training with Guru Chitra Venugopal and Late. Guru Dr. Maya Rao’s Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography in Bangalore and trained for a few years with The Leela Institute in Los Angeles, CA under Ms. Rina Mehta, disciple of Late. Pt. Chitresh Das. I also performed at the ‘Son of the Wind’ with The Leela Institute at the Ford Theatre in Hollywood.

My purpose is to share the beautiful art form of Kathak dance, that has such a deep cultural heritage, with as many people as possible and enable them to experience the grace, joy, and spirituality this art form brings.
