Lalithambika Geethu Jayadev — Indian Classical Dancer specializing in Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi, and Kathakali.

Born in Trivandrum, Kerala, India, I began my dance journey at the age of four under the guidance of Kalamandalam Dr. Raji Subin at Bharatheeya Kalakshetra. To this day, I continue to learn from her, carrying forward the strong foundation she built in me.

Over the years, I have also expanded my training under other esteemed gurus, including Guru Pratibha Mannil in St. Louis, Dr. Divyasena, Kalakshetra Amalnath, and Advocate Renjini Suresh. Each of them has shaped me in unique ways—deepening my understanding of Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, Kuchipudi, and Kathakali.

Through this journey, I have performed on national and international stages, won titles such as Kalathilakam and Natya Idol, and brought rare art forms like Kathakali to audiences in the United States. Currently, as a Sophomore at Marquette Senior High School, Missouri, I continue to balance academics with my love for dance, striving to share the beauty of these traditions with communities everywhere.
