Saimer families in focus Graceful. Artistic. Agile. On and off the stage. Ale Shloka is a trained Kuchipudi dancer who started learning at an early age. The journey was not without challenges… she enrolled in a dance studio under the tutelage of dance exponent Amy Kumar but had to discontinue training when her father relocated to Kolkata; she returned to Hyderabad after a four-year gap, and had to start all over again, which she did with fervency and zeal. Says the dancer who has mastered dance steps such as adavus, jaathis, jathis, puja nrithyam, jathiswatam and Ramayana shabdam: “I was three years old when my mother accompanied me to the nearest dance studio. From then to now, engaging in various performances has significantly bolstered my on and off-stage confidence. None of this would have been possible without my mother’s guidance.” 22 Ale Shloka daughter of Narasa Raju Ale AR&D, Shamirpet
