Ashwin Kumar.

Ashwin is a dancer who was a wolf among the sheep and didn’t let anything or anyone break his stride. Leaving a promising corporate career behind, Ashwin vowed to follow his heart’s desire into the world of dance.  As a child, his introduction to dance was through Bollywood, but since then his passion and dedication towards the art form have helped him evolve into one of the company’s finest contemporary dancers.

Ashwin accomplished a B.Com degree from Christ University, Bangalore. His relentless drive has led him to win numerous state and national level dance competitions. Whereas his unparalleled flair for college choreography has gained him great popularity in Bangalore!

He has played a pivotal role in his performances in some of the most prestigious events with Nritarutya, across the country and abroad. His physical ability to twist and contort his body, gives him the unconventional flexibility not many can boast of.

His penchant for what’s hot and what’s not in the fashion biz has given him an edge in costume designing. Glam-fam has fancied his eyes since the university days and it has taken shape as he strokes away numerous costume sketches for the company. He believes that fashion also influences choreography, which can be seen in his work. His love for patterns, cuts, drapes, and designs of clothes inspire his choreographic processes.

He has taken his fashion flair a notch higher by designing outfits for celebrities, one of them being the judge in dance reality show, Dancing Star on Colors Kannada.

Ashwin draws his inspiration from artists like Damien Jalet and the renowned Alexander Ekman. He dreams big and wants to reach a time and space in life where he explores dance beyond the physicality, and transports his audience to an alternative world through his choreography and storytelling.

Ashwin’s transformation has been praise-worthy as he gels into administrative end quite smoothly. Apart from dancing, he has suited himself to fit into the managerial shoes and sets an example of finding a balance between both.
