A second generation Indian American is winning rave reviews for performing a "fusion dance" of Kuchipudi and Spanish dance Flamenco.

Dancer Siri Sonty, whose parents immigrated from Hyderabad, is a student working simultaneously towards an MD and a Ph.D at the Northwestern University.

Sonty got interested in flamenco when she visited Spain in 1998 and was struck by similarities between the Spanish dance form and Indian classical dance.

She was so fascinated with flamenco that after returning to Chicago she began the search for a likely dance partner.
