Jita’s training in classical Indian dance began whilst living in England for 5 years, with Kathak and folk dance and continued in Australia for a couple of years, both in Kathak and Odissi dance. Jita has also had Kathak dance training in New Delhi and in Amritsar.

Jita has been performing for 10 years in Kathak dance, and has held many workshops for schools and community events.
