An accomplished artist, Dr. Subha Maruvada has a unique distinction of celebrated excellence in two classical dance techniques of South India - Kuchipudi under Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam and Bharatnatyam under Mrs. Kamala Narayana (Laxman). She had her Bharatanatyam rangapravesam in 1983, and awarded the titles of "Bharata Kamalarnava Kaustubha", and later "Bharata Nrutyarnava Kaustubha", at Madison Square Garden for performing in a Ramayana ballet with Mrs. Kamala Narayan. "Graceful movements, charming stage presence, and natural sophistication in Abhinaya" were the words with which Mrs. Kamala Narayan described Subha.

Subha Maruvada gave a sparkling Kuchipudi rangapravesam under Guru Dr. Vempati Chinna Sathyam at Kasturi Srinivasa Hall Music Academy, which was marked by fluidity and grace. "The jathi sequences were matched by her dancing feet and there was never a false step" said Mr. A.S. Raman about her performance. She has danced many roles in Kuchipudi dance dramas and undertaken several dance tours throughout North America and India. She has played roles in the production dramas such as Sri Krishna, Sri Vishnu, Manmadha, and various supporting roles in Haravilasam, Abhignana Sakunthalam, Ardhanareeswara, Ramayanam, Sri Krishna Parijatham and Leela Ganapati.
