Balakka as Smt A B Balakondala Rao is lovingly called by the dance community and by her disciples, is known to be a meticulous teacher of Kuchipudi technique and adhering to the rich tradition befitting the parampara of her Guru. Maanasi started her dance as early as at 5 years, initially under Guru Uma Maheswari and later under Guru Sri Mahanty Venkateswara and Guru Smt Lakshmi Mahanty. She also learnt Bharatanatyam. It is a belief that Kuchipudi Kalaa Kendram is one institution where learning Kuchipudi dance goes beyond the movements or performing items, and where students learn about the rich culture, heritage, respect to traditions and learning about depths of life. Maanasi initiated her performance with "Ganesha Pancharatnam of Sri Adisankaracharya – Ragamaika – Tisragati/ Adi Talam – Guru Smt A B Balakondala Rao.

Maanasi performed the item with grace.  Bhama Pravesa Dharuvu- Adi Guru Siddendra Yogi, Bhairavi, Misrachapu, Padma Bhushan Vempati Chinna Satyam stands out as the most popular for any Kuchipudi recital, what with the very dance form identified with Satyabhama, consort of Lord Krishna.
