Who we are

Jeanie wears many hats. She is the Director of Rhythmic Arts Dance Center in NJ, Charity Coordinator of Dance 4 Cause, and most importantly – a mom to 3 beautiful kids, Jiya, Shyla & Niyam…and we can’t forget her fur baby, Disco!

After 20 years of owning her studio (Rhythmic Arts) & taking her students to numerous competitions, charity events, sporting events, and even Walt Disney World® Resort – she wanted to provide the next generation of South Asian dancers bigger & better opportunities which is where the idea for the 1st ever Diwali Dance Festival came into place!

As a studio director, a mom of a special needs child, an almost teenager & a baby she knows what the dance community needs & what parents look for when they sign their kids up for events. She is very passionate about the art of dance & wants to make sure that dancers & their guests have an extremely memorable experience at Diwali Dance Fest in Walt Disney World® Resort!

Jeanie is very excited to meet dance directors from all over the US & looks forward to producing more events for the South Asian dance community!
