An
experienced dancer and teacher, Ketaki's tryst with classical dance
started with Bharatanatyam at very young age.
The elastic charm of Odissi lured her to start
learning at Smitalay under Guru Smt. Jhelum Paranjape. She has now
been learning here for the past nine years. Ketaki has also been
very lucky to learn from the Great Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra in his
summer workshop's conducted in Mumbai as well as Orissa several times.

teaches at the main branch of Smitalay in Santacruz.
Like
the other faculty members at Smitalay, you can be sure to notice her
