An Arangetram is the debut solo stage performance for a student of Indian classical dance, Bharatnatyam, marking their transition from years of training to becoming a performing artist, signifying the "ascending of the stage" (from Tamil arangu (stage) + etram (ascent)) and showcasing mastery of complex footwork, expressions, and storytelling to a wider audience. It's a significant cultural milestone, a graduation ceremony, and a sacred offering of dance, typically following a rigorous curriculum under a guru.
