Krutika Joshi is the middle daughter of the three siblings of Vyas family. She had an affinity towards dance since childhood. She started to learn Bharatanatyam under Madhubhai of Madhur Jyoti Dance Academy at the age of six years. For further dance training, she joined dance class of Smt Shefali Naik and completed her Vishard in Bharatanatyam under guru Shefali Naik in 2001.
During this time Krutika met Smt Madhuri Bhave, renowned Kathak dancer of Vadodara. Krutika found interest in Kathak dance and started Kathak training under Guru Madhuri Bhave. Meanwhile, she got married. With the support of her husband and in-laws, she completed her Kathak Visharad in 2004. In 2013, with the blessings and guidance of guru Smt Madhuri Bhave, she started her own dance academy called Shreekruti Kathak Kala Kendra with the aim to keep live our prestigious Kathak dance culture giving training to her disciples. She is always enthusiastic to give dance training to disciples.
Apart from this, she has also choreographed the folk dance, Bollywood dance, free style dance in various annual functions of schools. In her able guidance, many students have won the prizes. She is quite capable of choreographing classical, semi-classical, Bollywood and free style dances. She is always praised and credited by dance lovers and parents for her and her disciples’ stage performances.
Krutika’s wish is that a maximum number of students learn Kathak dance and wants to carry forward our dance heritage to next generation. She is also trying to showcase her and her disciples’ performances abroad along with her Guru Smt Madhuri Bhave. This will be really helpful to the physical and mental development of her disciples.
