Aaricia Ponnet

As a dancer, I specialise in Indian dances such as Rajasthani folk dances (Kalbeliya, Ghoomar, Terah Thaali), Kathak and Bollywood. My childhood has been marked by two life-changing experiences: traveling to India every year with my family, and meeting Maya Sapera who has trained me to become a professional dancer. After finishing my MA in Hindi and Sanskrit, I moved to Bombay to study Kathak as an ICCR scholar with Guru Shila Mehta (Lucknow Gharana). I'm part of the Maya Sapera Company in Belgium and regularly perform with live music.
