Nita Trivedi brings vibrant energy, cultural storytelling, and a lifelong love of dance to Ballet RI, where she has taught South Asian dance since 2020. Her classes introduce students to the joy and rich traditions of Bollywood, Kathak, and Indian folk dance, celebrating the rhythms, movement, and cultural connections that make each style unique.

Originally from Sharon, Massachusetts, Nita began her dance journey studying Indian folk dance with Jasmine Shah at Aangikam Dance Academy. She later pursued formal Kathak training with Anindita Anaam of Sargam Kathak Dance Classes, whose lineage connects to the Jaipur and Lucknow gharanas. A former certified Zumba instructor, Nita is also an active member of the Dance Alliance of Rhode Island.

After earning a B.S. in Economics and an M.B.A. in Accounting, Nita built a career as a contracts analyst while finding her way back to dance as an adult. With more than 15 years of teaching experience, she is passionate about sharing dance as a living expression of her heritage. She continues to study Kathak, embracing lifelong learning and growth. Outside the studio, Nita enjoys experimenting with new recipes, spending time with loved ones, and relaxing with her two cats.
