Shivam Gupta
Director
Kathak & Bollywood Choreographer
"Art has the power to inspire, transform, and create a lasting impact."
As Director of Shivangikam Sangeet Kala Kendra, I am deeply committed to nurturing talent and preserving the rich traditions of Indian performing arts. Our vision is to provide students with quality training in a positive, disciplined, and inspiring environment where every learner can grow with confidence and creativity.
Under the guidance of Guru Smt. Vasundhara Sharma, I have received dedicated training in Kathak for over three years. Having performed on the prestigious Sur Ganga stage and choreographed extensively, I strive to bring together the elegance of classical dance with the energy of contemporary performances.
My artistic journey is complemented by a Diploma in Kathak and Prabhakar (BHU), and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's in Kathak from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh. Additionally, my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) provides strong leadership and organizational skills to guide this institution.
At Shivangikam, we believe dance is more than an art form — it is a path to confidence, discipline, cultural awareness, and self-expression.
