She is dedicated to the promotion and evolution of the vast and rich art of Kathak dance through her practice, performance and teaching as vehicles for service to society and self-realization. Anjali holds a B.A. in Psychology from Tufts University and a Masters in Public Health from Boston University. She has passionately pursued her career in Kathak and public health simultaneously for over 20 years working with communities and engaging youth in leadership and activities to improve self-esteem and overall health and well-being. In addition, Anjali has a deep connection to the area, as she grew up in Westchester, spending the first several years of her life in Tarrytown.
