Nadia first found her love for dance at an early age as she was always surrounded by Indian music and dancing. Her main exposure came from family and community gatherings. She has had a passion for dancing since she could walk. She began performing when she was only five years old in New York City.  

 

Her first journey in dance began at the Rising Stars Dance Academy in Queens, New York. This is where she learned the fundamentals of modern dance, ranging from ballet, jazz, tap and lyrical. Alongside professional Indian dancers, she also learned the art of Indian dance.  She continued this journey to further explore various forms of world dance such as flamenco, belly, Latin, swing, with an emphasis on the Bharatnatyam style of Indian dance.  

 

For the last eight years, she has studied under various professional Indian classical dancers as well as continuing to perform in the Indian entertainment form of dance, known as Bollywood, through multiple studios.
