Stuti Hegde is a Bharatanatyam artist from Sirsi, Karnataka. She began learning dance at the age of four and has pursued the art for fourteen years, with more than 150 stage appearances. Her practice brings together classical dance, Carnatic music and an interest in the literary and cultural traditions that inform performance.

She received her early Bharatanatyam training under Vidushi Radha Bhaskar at Sankarshana Nrutyalaya. For the past seven years, she has trained under her principal Guru, Vidushi Seema Bhagwat, at Nataraja Nrutya Shaale, Sirsi. Stuti completed the Bharatanatyam Senior examination in 2024 and is currently pursuing Vidwat Poorva.

In the 2024–25 Kala Utsav, she secured first place at the Karnataka state level and represented Karnataka at the National Kala Utsav in Bhopal. Her artistic experience includes festival performances, solo recitals and specialised dance workshops.

Her Carnatic music education began under Vidushi Shridevi Ranganath and continues under Vidwan Deepak Hebbar. This parallel engagement with music helps her approach rhythm, phrasing and abhinaya with a sensitive ear.
