Gurudev academy

Chethana was inspired most by her gurus and other popular dancers. She had a privilege of getting trained under the best gurus.

Chethana had her basic lessons of Bharatanatyam from guru natya Visharade Smt.Sheela Sridhar in Kalakshetra Style, which is well known for its precise and perfect movements. Hence Chethana is blessed to have been trained up in best of adavus and angashudha. However She later had a privilege to learn Mysore Style of bharatanatyam from Vidushi Smt.Shakuntalamma (grand-daughter of Late Padmabushana Dr. Venkatalakshamma), during her graduation in Fine Arts College, Mysore.

Later on She had the blessings of Lord Nataraja to obtain training in Tanjore Style under the great Guru Late Smt.Narmada, Bangalore .It is then that Chethana attained more and more knowledge and perfection in this art form. But her thirst for knowledge did not allow her to stop learning. She further went to Chennai in search of a guru where she got the advanced lessons from Smt.Savitri Jagannath Rao.

Chethana shows her respect and Gratitude to all her teachers even today.
