Meet Dancing in Madness

Aditi Sriram – Junior, Marquette High School
Hritika Malugu – Senior, Lafayette High School
Kirthi Ramesh – Junior, Liberty High School 
Shreenidhi Senthilnathan – Junior, Marquette High School 

 
Aditi Sriram, Hritika Malugu, Kirthi Ramesh, and Shreenidhi Senthilnathan have been dancing side-by-side for nearly a decade through Soorya Performing Arts—and together, they form the dynamic quartet known as Dancing in Madness. 

Their piece, choreographed by renowned Bharatanatyam artist Prasanna Kasthuri, draws inspiration from the idea that even in chaos, nature finds its rhythm. Using Bharatanatyam’s expressive vocabulary, they embody the delicate relationship between bees and blooming flowers through gestures like Arala, Mukula, Alapadma, and Bhramara, bringing harmony, movement, and meaning to the stage. 

With experiences ranging from American Natya Idol to performing at the APAP Conference in NYC, and each dancer completing her arangetram (dance solo debut), the group continues to shine as a testament to dedication and friendship. 

Aditi, Hritika, Kirthi, and Shreenidhi hope audiences feel the energy, connection, and joy they share—and they plan to carry their passion for Indian classical dance into college and beyond.
