Madhumita has been learning under the tutelage of Smt. Subhashini Vijay Santhanam for five years at From Within Academy. Prior to that, she learned Bharatnatyam in India for three years. She loves this dance form because in her mind, every Abhinaya movement is intellectually challenging and every Nrithya movement is physically unique.  She also plays the French horn and the Mellophone in the school band. In September, she will be in the ninth grade at Eastlake High School. Her other passions also include history, literature, singing and crocheting. Bharatnatyam has shown her that hard work leads to success.
