Why Choose Me?
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.
