About Me
Hello There!
I am Aiswarya Gopal, the founder of Thaalam by Aiswarya. I want to create a space dedicated to celebrating movement, rhythm, and the joy of dance.
I began my Bharatanatyam training at the age of five under the guidance of Kalamandalam Gopinath, spending over twelve years building a strong classical foundation. Since then, I have continued to explore and experiment with different Indian dance styles, constantly expanding my artistic expression.
Alongside my artistic journey, I pursue another passion, science. I am now a full-time scientist in Germany, working on RNA and protein synthesis research. Balancing the precision of science with the creativity of dance, I feel equally at home in the laboratory and on stage.
While performance remains an important part of my work, teaching is what I cherish most. I believe no choreography is ever too complex when broken down thoughtfully. By understanding each students way of learning, I adapt my methods to make dance accessible and joyful for everyone. For me, dance is not just about perfecting technique but about discovering confidence, freedom, and happiness through movement.
Through Thaalam by Aiswarya, I offer Bharatanatyam, Semi-Classical, and Bollywood classes for children and adults, both online and offline. My sessions help students build strong foundations in Indian dance, connect movement with music, and, above all, leave each class feeling lighter, happier, and more inspired.
I have performed at cultural events across Europe, sharing my vibrant energy and expressive storytelling with diverse audiences. With Thaalam, my vision is to create a welcoming space where anyone—regardless of age or experience—can learn, dance, laugh, and celebrate the joy of movement.
