REVIEWS
1.
Dinamalar – Kalai Malar –18 Feb 2010
- Sweta Ravisankar is blessed with a naturally expressive face and eye which is an added strength for her. Sweta dances with a lot of dedication and enthusiasm. Dancing with a lot of energy and without any lag is a welcome feature.

- Emotions flitted across Sweta Ravisankar’s face with incredible ease and quickness. She melted with devotion while presenting “Enna Solli” by Ambujam Krishna. Sweta potrayed Dusshadhana’s atrocious arrogance and Draupadi’s helpless agony with authenticity.

- (Sweta Ravisankar took the role of Arjuna in the Ballet "Sharanagatham Krishna" presented for Pollachi Tamil Isai Sangam on Sat 26th July 2008.) Arjuna’s expression of incredible ecstasy while he saw the Viswaroopa of Krishna conveyed what could not be shown on the stage

Dinamani, 22nd June 2008
- The body which can adhere to all movements, the big eyes which can depict navarasas, the legs jumping without missing the strict laya beats made the audience wonder whether she is a boneless creeper. Her fifteen years of hard work was portrayed in each abinaya and movement. She was a colourful peacock in full dance dress, on the stage.

Petite Sweta ravisankar scored both in abhinaya and footwork
- Her slim figure enabled her to twist and turn with ease bringing out the essence of Sringara.
- Delightful was Sweta’s touching rendering of "Bhavayami Gopala Balam" in Yaman Kalyan and Kanta chapu talam. In the Kalinganardanam episode agile body moments as a snake added depth to the scene.
