About

Swetha is the founder and artistic director of Kalaikoil established in 1985 in California, USA. She is proud to have trained under Guru Smt Vaasanti Gopinath Jaiaswal, daughter of Guru’s Gopinath/Thankamani. Swetha was fortunate to briefly learn with her Guru’s Guru, Paramaguru, Sri Udupi Jayaram. A more amazing fact is that Swetha learned with her Parameshtiguru, Sri Kalaimamani VS Muthuswami Pillai. She learned Bharatanatyam theory under Sri T.S. Parthasarathy and now has an extensive music and dance research library. Guru Vaasanthi teacher trained her well in the intricacies of physical abhinaya. Swetha also learned under Kalaimamani Smt Kalanidhi Narayanan with her unique approach to expressing the panorama of heartfelt thoughts of our great Carnatic composers. While Swetha’s specialty and passion is abhinaya, Guru Smt Vaasanti encouraged her attention-to-detail and skill with complex group choreography.
