Meet Nita Trivedi
From many dance floors, one teaching style
Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting Dance by Nita.
I started this website in hopes to spread my joy and passion of dancing to those of all dancing abilities.
I grew up taking jazz dance classes along with a little bit of ballet and tap. With each semester, I performed at many recitals.
Once I started high school, I decided to get back to my roots and take on Indian folk dance lessons—not classical and not the kind you see in Bollywood movies, but something in the middle. I performed at recitals every year as well as birthday parties, anniversary parties, and wedding receptions.
In college, I met a great dance partner and choreographer. She was – and still is – a great choreographer, and gave me some great tips that I still use today. While still choreographing and performing, teaching became a natural progression for me.
And the rest is history….
