Meet The Team

Sruthi Kumar

Sruthi’s love for dancing started at a very young age. As a child, she always found herself
standing in front of the TV, moving her hips to old Bollywood tracks. She is a licensed Zumba
Instructor and a Bollywood dancer, who has over 7 years of teaching experience.

Outside of dance she also enjoys different genres of music, hiking, playing badminton and
binge-watching new TV series.

Parvathy Varma

Parvathy has been dancing since the age of three—and hasn’t really stopped since :) Trained in Bharatnatyam and Kathak, dance has always been her go-to space for joy, expression, and connection. When she’s not dancing or working, you will probably find her with a book, or exploring a new chai spot, or enjoying a good movie 🙂
After being a part of the Hashtag Dance fam for about a year, Parvathy is now super excited to step into the instructor role and experience dance from a whole new lens.

Tanmayee Kamath

Tanmayee is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer whose passion for dance began at a young age. Over the years, she has honed her skills in rhythm, expression, and storytelling, finding joy in both performing and teaching. Beyond dancing, she loves singing, hiking, traveling to new places, and—most importantly—exploring new cuisines as a true foodie. Having been a Hashtag Dance student for over a year, she is excited to take on this new role and experience dance from a fresh perspective
