Kaavya (2021)

Kaavya, a 10 -year-old girl in Texas, prepares for the most important dance of her life: her arangetram. This 2-hour solo dance debut showcases a mastery in the oldest form of Indian classical dance, originating over 2,000 years ago. As if the pressure to achieve this milestone at such a young age isn't enough, Kaavya is being trained by her own mother, a professional dancer and respected guru with a formidable reputation of her own to uphold. How Kaavya adapts to the constantly changing world amidst a global pandemic and relentlessly practices when the world is thrown in chaos shows not just the resilience of youth, but the indomitable strength of an art form.
