Bharatnatyam dancer Sathyanarayana Raju is celebrating his 60th birthday and 60 dance recitals within a year. Born in 1965, Raju began his year-long performance goal on January 6, 2025, completing five shows monthly. He expressed gratitude to his gurus and shared his journey, noting the dance world's lack of inclusivity in the '70s and '80s. Inspired by a film at a young age, he pursued his passion despite familial obstacles, with his mother's support.
