Suraj A Security Test Engineer by profession, Suraj has recently graduated from Santa Clara University. Suraj is very ardent about dancing. Ok. That’s a lie. But, you can see him moving his body to the tunes, if he hears a music he enjoys. Though he likes a lot to dance, he has not done many stage shows except for a rare one or two here and there during school days. His dancing has all been in closed circuits & family functions. His affairs with arts have always been in other forms – acting, villupaattu, monologues, etc., Other than arts, he was an all rounder in school and college, winning medals and prizes in academics and extra curricular activities. He has won the “Best Student” Medal at school, and was the champion 6 times in field sports at various levels, besides captaining the school’s Volleyball team. At college, he has taken up various responsibilities from being a Class representative to a Placement Co-Ordinator. This is the first time he is doing a live dance show in 10 years. His passion towards dancing was re-kindled by the few shows in which his sister had participated. If given a chance,or in other words – if he is able to find time in his ultra-busy schedule, he surely would like to do more shows in the years to come. Back to Top
