Her journey mirrors that of many other South Asian girls, with her first steps in Bharatanatyam. This classical dance form provided the initial spark, but as Anjana grew, so did her curiosity and passion for dance.

As she continued to explore her love for dance, Anjana's journey took her beyond the confines of tradition. She immersed herself in a diverse range of dance forms, from Mohiniyattam, girls style choreography to contemporary dance, defying expectations and embracing her multifaceted identity, as an Australian and an Indian, along the way. Each step forward was a testament to her resilience and determination to challenge societal norms and redefine what it means to be a South Asian Woman.

It was this journey of self-discovery, of navigating between two worlds and embracing both, that laid the foundation for her groundbreaking approach to dance: BollySiren. BollySiren isn't just a dance style; it's a celebration of cultural fusion and individuality. Through BollySiren, Anjana created a space where South Asian Women could shed the confines of tradition and dance freely, authentically, and unapologetically.

Beyond the studio walls, Anjana's impact extends far and wide. Through workshops, performances, and social media, she amplifies voices, sparks conversations, and challenges ingrained beliefs about female expression and empowerment. Her journey is not just about dance, it's about rewriting the narrative around identity, empowerment, and inclusivity.

As she continues to rewrite the narrative around female expression, Anjana inspires others to embrace their true selves and redefine their own paths to empowerment and liberation.
