PUBLIC BIO:
Sikha Chaundhri knew from a young age that she was destined for greatness. Born and raised in Wales, she spent a large portion of her primary school in dance classes, practicing at the barre for hours on end. She rose quickly through the ranks, outperforming her peers at every turn. Her parents supported her in every way they could, and Sikha often credits her years of success to their drive and determination: โIf it wasnโt for them, Iโd still be stagnant.โย Every step is measured, every look is calculated; Sikha is aware of the eyes on her at all times โ in fact, she commands them. Stepping into a new room, her presence forces the gaze of all around her to observe, to witness. Chin raised; a motion somewhere between defiance and a dare. She is poised and composed, near-perfect; the subject of paintings and sculpture. Her elegance has long been praised, overshadowed only by the sheer emotion she portrays on the stage. For years, her performances were heralded for her emotive expression and the connection she could hold with an audience, not cutting the tie until after the final bows.ย Those who have met her say she's perceptive and quick, someone who never misses a beat. She cannot be shaken; her choreography never falters, every step pre-composed to create a spectacle unlike anything ever seen before. Her words are smooth, obfuscating: she excels at keeping the true nature of her decisions hidden from the public eye. No one can put a finger on what exactly her motivations behind any given decision may be. Witty and thoughtful, her words are as sharp as her heels; she always has something to say. Some would argue โheadstrong,โ others would say โpassionateโ: she fits many labels. Regardless, fiery is not generally a term associated with Sikha: rather, the opposite โ ice is her name, gliding is her game. In private, people whisper of her callous nature, the detachment with which she makes her decisions. Sikha has spent decades building herself up โ she will not allow someone to take her down that easily.
