Sheejith Krishna, a dancer and choreographer, was initiated into dance from the early age of eight.

His initial training began under the tutelage of his parents. He honed his skills further by learning mridangam under Kalamandalam Ramakrishnan and under the able tutorship of Ghatam Vidwan T H Vinayakaram and T R Sundaresan. 

His quest for knowledge in the art field brought him to Rukmini Devi's world famous institution Kalakshetra. Apart from rigorous training in Bharatanatyam, Sheejith Krishna also nourished his vocal talent under S Rajaram (Director of Kalakshetra) and Salem Chellam Iyengar. After his 4-year diploma course, he continued with his post graduation in Bharatanatyam and passed out achieving a first class from the same institution. He is now a faculty member at Kalakshetra.
