Early life and career highlights

Aditi's musical journey began very early in life, highly inspired by her mother, Ragini Bhagwat, a classical singer. Her initial kathak training in the Jaipur style, was under the guidance of Roshan Kumari and Nandita Puri. Her training in "Odissi" under the guidance of Jhelum Paranjpe has led to her grooming in Abhinaya (expressions) and Adda - graceful posture for which Aditi is well recognized. She has a master's degree in dance from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya (National School of Dance). She is an A graded artist of Doordarshan Kendra and empanelled with the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.

While staying within the structure of Indian classical music and art, Aditi has vastly experimented and succeed in mixing traditional dance art and music with Jazz and other kinds of western music. Her first collaborative venture was with Louis Banks, percussionist Sivamani and music composer Merlin D'Souza. She performed at the Budapest Spring Festival for the Indo-Gypsy Jazz project with pianist Bela Szakcsi Lakatos in Hungary. She was involved in the kathak and Electronic music collaboration with the band Kartik and Gotam: Business Class Refugees in France. She was also involved with the Issue Project with New York pianist Rod Williams. She has gracefully blended the stylized gestures of kathak and the sophisticated rhythm of the Tatkaar, Chakkradhars and different Taals with varying time cycles with instruments like the djembe, drums, ghumbri, cuatro, sarod, sitar and many more. Bhagwat has said that change and experimentation help a person grow as an artist. Her kathak dance style shows a "mastery of the idiom" according to the The Hindu.

Aditi was awarded the prestigious United States Department of State Fellowship under Cultural Exchange Program 'One Beat' in 2012.
