Ramya's
dedication to creating a better multi cultural community has been supported
by the
Orange County Performing
Arts Center in conjunction with the Orange County Department of
Education.

As
a roster artist of the
'The
Center's Arts Teach' program since its inception in 1989, she has
been sharing her art in a very unique way with thousands of school children
in Orange County
(click on link for program / booking info).
In 2002
Disney
Resorts included her as
one of nine featured artists for their
neighborhood school districts. Accompanied by Rusty Gillette, she introduces
them to Bharata Natyam, percussion, rhythms and story telling.
Through the
'Arts Connect' program, she conducts workshops and residencies throughout the Southland.

Ramya also works on
similar programs through the
Children's Creative Project in Central
California and the
Center
for World Music, San Diego. She has been a guest instructor at
University of California, Irvine for several quarters and since
1993 has presented lecture demonstrations bi-annually at the
San Diego
State University.
