Introduced to the art of Bharatha Natyam at the age of eight while living in Zambia, Swetha joined the Lingalayam Dance Academy in 1996 when her family migrated to Australia. Both her Arangetram and initial season with the Lingalayam Dance Company occurred in 2003. From the early years, Swetha portrayed that intuitive ability to interact and be involved with her dancing, a rare quality that blossomed when she performed the role of Shakuntala in 2005, and as the loved and rejected Sita in the re-staging of Earth & Fire in 2007. Swetha was one of the five dancers involved with coordinating and presenting Tarangini a concert for charity in April 2006. Swetha has a devotional love and appreciation for the Indian classical arts and draws strength and pride from her rich cultural heritage. Having completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology she is presently doing her Masters in Human resources. She has also been teaching at the Lingalayam Dance Academy since 2005.
