Kiranmayee has had the valuable opportunity of studying Bharatanatyam in its truest, most authentic form of the Vazhuvoor style from my Guru Smt. Hemamalini Arni. Mrs. Arni had an exquisite and rare combination of Gurus; the illustrious, stalwarts of dance - Padmabhushan T Bala Saraswati and Padmasree Vazhuvoor Ramaiah Pillai.
She also studied carnatic music under the legendary Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri Maharajpuram Vishwanath Iyer himself. Guru Arni gives all her disciples a deep insight into the subject of Bharatanatyam, which only renders one with more respect for this art.
Guru Arni was one of the very few in India to have performed in the presence of Countess Mountbatten and Sir Archibald Nye, Governor of Madras, Sri Jawaharlal Nehru, Bharat Ratna Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and first head of the Indian Union, CR Rajagopalachari.
