Anjali is a dynamic Kathak artist who is a native of New York and began to nurture her love for dance at the age of 4, through her beloved ballet classes which she maintained into her college years. She began her entry into the rich world of kathak in 1997 at Tufts University, training with Gretchen Hayden and moved to the SF Bay Area in 2003 to deepen her study directly under renowned Kathak guru, the late Pandit Chitresh Das.
