Parallel Career Path as a Professional Dancer

Join us for Guidance and Insight on Possible Parallel Career Paths, an engaging conversation featuring renowned choreographer Nirmala Madhava of PAMPA Dance Academy and Bay Area professional Sowmya.

Nirmala brings decades of experience in Kathak and Bharatanatyam, global performances, university teaching, and cultural leadership at prestigious events. Her collaborations include working with acclaimed choreographer Lawrence Pech and contributing to the San Francisco Opera’s production of Aida.

Sowmya, a Santa Clara University graduate, blends her business background with meaningful experience in college admissions and her current role on Levi Strauss & Co.’s Corporate Insights team.

Together, they will share how passion, tradition, and professional skills can intersect to shape fulfilling parallel career paths. This session offers inspiration and practical guidance for anyone exploring multiple avenues in their personal or professional journey.
