chitraleka dance academy

The Academy is where it is today through years of hardship and teamwork. Through our dedication to the Bharatanatyam art form we have built a long-lasting impression in the UK Bharatanatyam history, and even as we look to the future, we always remind ourselves of our humble beginnings. Dancing for over 30 years Founded in 1990, Chitraleka Dance Academy has trained many dancers who have now gone on to developing and enriching the dance scene throughout the United Kingdom. We see our work as an investment for the future of the country’s cultural prosperity. The company is a remarkably one of the first Youth Dance companies in Britain to be founded on a strong repertoire of classical Indian dance and dance-drama work.

kizzyka designs

I have been stitching since I was eight and am a self-confessed thread junkie. I buy amazing threads, get them home and wonder what I shall do with them! I make bags, panels, pictures and cushions. My work includes technically correct embroidered pieces, freestyle work, and I make and embellish felt. I use whatever technique I feel suits the project and I’ve always got at least three or four things on the go. I also knit for fun, and do extreme knitting making rugs and throws. Crewelwork is my favourite technique, and I love to experiment with threads and fabrics using a crewel design style. My current inspirations are butterflies and dragons. I taught myself many techniques and in 2005 achieved my RSN Certificate. I have worked for an embroidery company but now prefer to work freelance as I can ‘play’ more. I ran Zweigart’s UK distribution for a while, which gave me a good insight into different fabrics and how they can be used.
