Nirthalaya Academy

---

Since the age of five, Christina has been immersed in the world of Indian classical dance. A first-generation Indian American with a deep love for the arts, she began formal training at a young age in three classical dance forms: Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Mohiniyattam. Her passion for dance eventually inspired her to found and operate, Nirthalaya Academy, with two locations, in New York and New Jersey. Despite working full-time as a Computer Engineer, she dedicated her evenings and weekends to teaching. Christina is a true role model for the next generation, seamlessly balancing a professional career with her artistic pursuits.
