🪔 About

Priyanka Jain Vora is a classically trained Indian dancer, specializing in Bharatanatyam. She completed her Arangetram, a prestigious dance graduation, at the age of 16 in Boston, MA. Beyond her classical roots, Priyanka developed a passion for a diverse range of dance forms, including Bollywood, Semi-Classical, Folk, Garba, and Modern dance. She was also the captain of her competitive South Asian Fusion dance team during college, where she organized and choreographed numerous dance charity showcases and served as a judge for national dance competitions. In 2016, after relocating to Seattle, Priyanka founded the Rangeela Dance Company (RDC) with the mission to cultivate a community that celebrates and shares South Asian culture through Indian dance. RDC has since grown to become one of the nation's leading South Asian dance companies, with a presence in Seattle, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and Phoenix, and offering services globally. The company has received recognition from prestigious platforms such as the Smithsonian Institute. As the founder and director of Rangeela Dance Company, Priyanka is a prominent Bollywood fusion dance choreographer. Her vision for RDC is to make dance accessible to all, offering group and private classes for both children and adults, performing and visual arts for special events, and private choreography services. The company's instructors and dancers possess professional expertise in a wide array of styles, including Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Bollywood, Bhangra, Kuthu Hop, Semi-Classical, Hip-Hop, Contemporary, and Garba. In addition to her extensive dance career, Priyanka Jain Vora is also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, board-certified in Pelvic & Women's Health, and a certified group fitness instructor. She actively promotes preventative health, wellness, and the arts within the community. She is married with two sons and is involved in volunteering with her Jain community.
