Introduction

Swaranjali Kids is proud to have Sahasra Maradani as the first instructor of this non-profit platform. With over five years of Carnatic music training and parallel learning in Bharatanatyam, Sahasra represents the spirit of dedication, discipline, and growth that the organisation stands for. She has performed at concerts, academy recitals, and cultural events, and now extends her journey into teaching, inspiring other children to experience the richness of Indian classical arts.

Musical & Dance Journey

In music, Sahasra has trained in Carnatic vocal, progressing from foundational exercises to varnams and kritis. Regular academy performances and stage appearances have shaped her into a confident young vocalist.

In dance, she has been consistently learning Bharatanatyam and is preparing for her first Arangetram. The dual training in music and dance makes her an instructor who brings balance, rhythm, and cultural depth to her students.

Recognitions & Milestones

Alongside her learning journey, Sahasra has earned recognition at both national and international levels. Some key highlights include:

• Presidential Service Award (2024)

• Skipping Stones Youth Award (2024)

• Winner – International Council of Dance Festival, Athens, Greece (2023)

• Sampada Carnatic Music Level 3 Certification (Silicon Andhra)

Beyond music and dance, she has also achieved a Black Belt in Taekwondo, graduated from the Marlboro Police Youth Academy, and gained early work experience as a Customer Service Representative at Hummus Republic — reflecting her all-round discipline and responsibility.

Teaching Approach

As an instructor at Swaranjali Kids, Sahasra’s approach is rooted in patience, discipline, and encouragement. She focuses on clarity in basics, gradual progression, and developing confidence in young learners. Her goal is to make Carnatic music and Bharatanatyam accessible to children through a supportive, non-profit model that values both learning and cultural preservation.
