Rangapravesham refers to a dancer’s formal solo debut performance on stage, marking their initiation into the professional world of dance as a performer. It is a celebratory event for the dancer after they have undergone many years of learning and rigorous training under the guidance of their guru (teacher). It is a key milestone in the dancer’s journey and can be considered a rite of passage, where they showcase their skills, technique, emotions, expressions, and deeper understanding of the art form.
