A senior Bharathanatyam "Guru"
Early Period In the early 80s, Shonanaa started her teaching stint at her Alma mater Bharatha Kalanjali the dancing school of her Gurus - The Dhananjayans.
When she shifted to Coimbatore, she started her own school in 1988. More than 200 students have learnt under this roof. Today many of Shobanaa's students are teachers in their own right, in different corners of the world.
Shobanaa is often invited to conduct workshops for various profiles. Her abhinaya workshop for senior practitioners is very popular. They have been conducted in USA, UK, Germany and South Africa.
Tharanginee
Tharanginee, is her recent brainchild. This dance school, headquartered at Chennai, imparts training in its pure form. The courses are designed to suit fulltime as well as part-time dancers.
Tharanginee will provide focussed and intense training to students. Shobanaa has also started using technology to keep in touch with her students living abroad. She conducts live one-to-one classes on online video. This helps her students to retain their skill levels even when they are not in Chennai.
