| Jayashree was initiated into the art of dance at the tender age of four under Guru T.S.Janakiraman. With her immense dedication at such a tender age and with the able guidance of her mother Smt. Leela Gopalan, she had her arangetram at the age of 8. She came under Dr. Padma Subrahmanyam when she was 16, at a time when her Guru had just commenced her research in the Natya Sastra. She was lucky to be among the few who were the first recipients of her study of the Nritta Karanas. She has perfected and embellished her art with vigorous practice, love and dedication. She has regaled audiences in almost all major cities and festivals all over India through solo concerts and ballets. She has performed at the International Festival at Athens, Festival De La Mer at Mauritius and at Singapore. She had the unique privilege of representing India in France in the International Summer Festival.
Her lecture - demonstrations for major universities and organisations have evoked spontaneous acclaim. She conducted several workshops and lecture demonstrations in Italy in 2009, which was highly appreciated. |
