Meet The ZIND TEAM
Founder & Creative Director: Nina Kay
I am so glad you're here! I started training in Bharatanatyam at the age of 6 in Maryland. In high school, I started choreographing cinematic and folk dances. I graduated from KNS in my senior year of high school. I would have loved to further my training to an Arangetram level, but put it on hold to attend St. Johns University Queens, NY to pursue a Doctorate in Pharmacy.
When I went to college, one of the first things my dad told me was to “not even think about dance”. So, naturally, my first instinct was to audition for the all female South Asian dance team (SJU Raaz) the very first week of college.
After returning back from college, I contacted my Guru and started to train for my arangetram. I finally completed my arangetram in October of 2013. About eight months later, I opened up ZIND Performing Academy (formerly known as NinaKshi, LLC) on June 21, 2014 (a day before my 26th birthday!)
I still work as a Pharmacist, but dance has always and will always be my gift, my outlet, my blessing and my calling.
