Dance is my passion!

Marketing is my Job!

My name is Prana and I was born in Germany. I am a Tamilian of Sri lankan heritage. Due to political conflicts my family moved to Germany where we settled in a city called Cologne. Since we got integrated very well to the German society there was always a part of us missing.The own culture and traditions were left behind.

This was a turning moment in my life. Already in my very young age of 5 I discovered my passion for dancing. At this age I could not even pronounce the word Bharathanatyam but was sure that I want to become a Bharathanatyam dancer.

 

 

 

 

The DREAMER

Prana Moorthy

Dipl. Bharathanatyam Dancer & Choreograph

"Kalajothy", Naatiyamayil 2016"& "Natiyakalaivithagar" 

BA Int.Marketing

After searching for an dance teacher we found Kasturi Salankai Oli Köln which is one of the most famous dance schools in Germany lead by Guru Smt. Savithry Emmanuel (M.A in Dance). Since that day I am student of her's since almost 20 years now. Having a very talented and passionate Guru is the most important condition to learn the art. In that case I have been very lucky.

 

Year by year many stage performances were held and  a Diploma course of 8 years was passed. In addition to that I did my "Aathrughai" which is a form of traininig in order to become a teacher was done. The traditional "Arangetram" which is the stage debut for a dancer was successfully done in 2008.

 

The last years I was focusing very much on my professional studies were I did a B.A in International Marketing. Nonetheless, I gave classes and choreoghraphed and performed in the meanwhile. Because at some point you realize its a part of you and belongs to your personality.

 

So I take it as my task to pass on the joy that I feel while dancing.  May the next generations also have the pleasure to feel the pure traditional art in its unique form.Moreover, I think it is every dancer's dream to spread the art to many people as possible because it is beuatiful and lets you forget the reality for the moment.
