About Vaishali

A Bharatanatyam dancer since age 3, Vaishali brings over 25 years of training and performance experience, shaped by the Kalakshetra, Pandanallur, and Tanjore traditions and Karanas. She founded Layaa Rhythmic Arts to nurture passionate performers and lifelong learners, and later created Indian Naach as a vibrant platform uniting dancers through shared artistic values and cultural celebration. For Vaishali, dance is a combination of discipline, joy, and a way to build community and preserve culture.
