Details of participants as received and a reminder too.
Aarna is a 7th grader at Timberlane Middle
School, in Hopewell Valley.
She is fond of reading,
writing, and art. She plays the violin as well. She
has always adored dancing; especially classical
from a young age. Her first dance class being at
the age of 4, learning Bollywood. Eventually, she
moved onto learn Bharatnatyam. Over the past
couple of years her love for dancing, this dance
form in particular, has grown vastly
Dittu or DT among her family and friends, as Aditi is
fondly called, is a 6th grader at Community Middle
School. Aditi is a very bubbly and active character
among her friends. She loves to be with her family and
friends all the time and always comes forward to help
kids both in school or outside. Aditi loves pets, mainly
dogs and one day she’ll convince her parents to get her
a pet dog. Aditi was excited when her parents
introduced her to Bharathanatyam only because she
will get to play with more friends, but eventually ended
up loving the art of dance. Aditi enjoys spending time
and talking with friends and family. She also roller
blades and swims on top of dance.
Apoorva, affectionately called Apoo, is a 7th grader at Community Middle School. She

with her friends. She is passionate about
soccer and also plays both the viola and the piano
Sia is a 6th Grader at Lawrence Intermediate School and she
has been passionate about dancing since she was 3 years old. She was the one to start and make everyone else dance
at home parties. She started to learn Bharatanatyam
informally since she was 4 years old through a family friend
and formally started at Rhythms when she was 6 years old.
She loves dogs. With her bubbly character she has several
friends of different age groups and is a mentor for some who
are budding dancers. She plays Cello in the school orchestra
and recently joined the Lawrence Hamnett Travel Soccer team.
