For Shria, dance is more than a mere movement; it is a powerful form of expression that conveys emotions, meanings, and narratives. She is deeply inspired by Lord Shiva, the cosmic dancer, known as "Nataraja," whose rhythmic and creative movements symbolize the ongoing cycles of creation and destruction in the universe. As a devout follower of Lord Shiva, Shria sees dance as a cosmic art form that celebrates life, creation, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The name Cosmic Dance Academy reflects Shria's vision of dance as a cosmic art form that celebrates the joy of movement, the beauty of expression, and the profound spiritual connection inherent in the art of dance.

At Cosmic Dance Academy, Shria channels her passion into teaching and inspiring young dancers. Through her classes and performances, she encourages students to not only master technique but also to explore the depth and beauty of dance as a storytelling medium.
