Providing emcee and consulting services for your special day
Providing emcee and consulting services for your special day

I’m Gouri Veerubhotla, a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, parent of a dancer, and corporate executive turned Arangetram emcee and event consultant.
Having planned both a Bharatanatyam Arangetram and a Kuchipudi Rangapravesam for my own daughter, I experienced firsthand how intricate and overwhelming the process can be. My goal is to bring your vision for this milestone event to life so you can be fully present and enjoy the day, stress-free.
With experience across over 500 Arangetrams, I bring together a deep understanding of the art form, trusted partnerships with vendors and musicians, and an intuitive sense of how to make each dancer’s debut performance flow seamlessly and beautifully.

Engaging. Culturally Fluent. Poised.
As your emcee, I bring warmth, confidence, and authenticity to every announcement and transition. With deep knowledge of Bharatanatyam and Sanskrit terminology, I ensure every introduction and description is both accurate and accessible, helping audiences connect with the dancer’s story.

"For over 25 years, I have envisioned having an emcee who could serve as a true sutradhaar, anchoring the performance from the stage itself and weaving together narrative tradition with audience engagement. Three years, that vision came to life through Gouri. With unwavering dedication, Gouri has emceed over ten of my Arangetrams, sitting cross-legged on the stage for hours, not just announcing but immersing the audience in the beauty of classical dance through mudras, storytelling, and insightful commentary. The scrips, storytelling, and the connection built with the audience have elevated each performance, embodying the spirit and depth of our art form." - Guru Bina Menon, Kalashri School of Arts
"Gouri has been an outstanding emcee for many Arangetrams of mine. Gouri's profound knowledge of Bharatanatyam is truly awe-inspiring. Her scripts are masterfully crafted, respectful, and remarkably engaging. She possesses a gift to connect with diverse audiences, both Indian and non-Indian, with poise and sophistication." - Guru Liza Joseph, Natyamudra School of Dance
