Shobana born into a family of dancers committed to the arts, she is the niece of the legendary classical dancers – Travancore Sisters – Lalitha, Padmini and Ragini. It is only natural that shobana followed their footsteps starting her training in Bharatanatyam at a very early age.
Later, under the guidance of the distinguished exponent in Bharatanatyam CHITRA VISWESWARAN, Shobana’s dedication to this art form was further honed kindling a commitment to reach beyond the ordinary. In 1984 after five years of intensive study at the Chidambaram Academy, Madras, she made her debut on stage proving her inherent gift as a fine dancer. Since then she has continued to perform to audiences of connoisseurs both in India and abroad. Her recitals abroad include the World Malayalee convention, in America in 1995, 1985. Shobana has also performed in Kuala Lumpur before the king and queen of Malaysia. Her dance tours have taken her all over U.S.A., Europe, the whole of South-East Asia and Australia.
