Ajeetha Gnanasambandan is an accomplished performer who is absolutely passionate about classical Indian dance, particularly Bharathanatyam, the oldest classical dance tradition in India (dating from at least the second century CE).

Ajeetha and I chat about $20,000 dance graduations, empathy and performance, dance as devotion, and so much more.
