One of the most challenging aspects of starting my business, Chandralaya School of Dance, wasbalancing tradition with innovation. Establishing a dance school rooted in the classical art form ofBharathanatyam required staying true to its rich cultural heritage while also making it accessible andrelevant to modern audiences, especially in a multicultural setting like Australia. Additionally, managingthe logistics of running a school—building a student base, handling administrative duties, and maintaininghigh artistic standards—was a significant challenge, especially while balancing my personal commitmentsand other professional pursuits.
