Indian classical dances have been passed down for centuries through the "Guru Shishya Parampara". The "Guru Shishya Parampara" is the succession of teacher and disciples.

Vidwan Chandrashekhara Navada and Vidwan Mohan Ullal are renowned Bharatanatyam Gurus in the Pandanallur style. Karnataka Kalashree Vidwan Chandrashekar trained under the guidance of Karnataka Kalathilaka Natyacharya Mohan Ullal and went on to establish "Natyanjali" in Surathkal, Karnataka.

Smt. Sneha Vivek is fortunate to have trained in Bharatanatyam in the Gurukul style from Guru Vidwan Chandrashekhara Navada.

In 2005, with her Guru's blessings she went on to establish her school of dance in the Bay Area. Smt Sneha Vivek has been training the next generation at Natya Ninada Performing Arts Foundation in the Pandallur style of dance. She hopes to see her students carry this jewel of Indian classical dances into the future.
