Neena Prasad
With distinctive grace
and dedication, Neena Prasad embodies discipline, scholarship, and a deep
conviction in her craft. Trained extensively in multiple classical dance forms
such as Kuchipudi, Kathakali, Bharatanatyam, and Mohini Attam under renowned
masters, her commitment to the art forms is inspiring. Her work in Mohini
Attam—both in performance and theoretical study—and in bridging the divide
between the two marks a meaningful contribution to the field.
When she started her
dance journey, she chose to follow her passion, and dedicated her early years
to learning, and gave performances in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi. Rigorous
training in both dance forms gave her a solid foundation and a deep awareness
of every movement. Her deep-rooted historical and cultural understanding of
both these styles has helped her preserve their authenticity and essence.
