Jayantee Paine-Ganguly learned the basics of Indian dance art from her first teacher, her mother, at the age of four. Her formal training of classical dances in the Kathak, and Odissi styles are from prominent teachers residing in India. Jayantee holds a Bachelor's degree in Mass Communication from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia and a Master's Degree in Performing Arts/Dance from American University, Washington, D.C. Jayantee has been a professional performer since 1977 and began teaching Indian dance art in the Washington area since 1982. Her two schools in Virginia and Maryland named KONARK DANCE SCHOOL, USA, provides education through dance, movement, drama, and music to American and Indian-American men, women, and children.
