FROM ‘YE MACHA GIRL’ TO DANCE ICON Jessica Krish’s 30-year cultural legacy

Post

|

October 08, 2025

FROM a humble school concert performance to becoming a household name in cultural arts, as the Ye Macha Girl, Shrimati Jessica Krish's journey is inspiring.

- MONISHKA GOVENDER

The Bharatha Natyam dancer, choreographer and founder of the Jessica Krish School of Performing Arts, was in the spotlight recently after the Tamil song, performed by Sharmaine Deol, was played on East Coast Radio during Heritage Month.

The video of the song, which was shared on social media, featured Krish dancing.

Going down memory lane, Krish said her first performance was at her primary school concert.

"I was extremely overwhelmed with the response. Many people came backstage and asked me to dance for functions such as weddings and birthdays. That was the start of my career as a dancer. My mum later enrolled me with Kumari Ambigay's dance school to study Bharatha Natyam."

Even while undergoing formal training, Krish continued to perform extensively across KwaZulu-Natal, winning numerous dance competitions and earning accolades that recognised her dedication to promoting Indian culture.
