Anuradha has been performing worldwide for over 25 years. In 1989 she was awarded the prestigious Jacqueline LeMieux Prize by the Canada Council, making her the only Indian classical dancer to receive this high honor. She was bestowed the title of Sringar Mani, “Artistic Jewel”, in Bombay after her performance at the Kal-Ke-Kalakaar Festival in 1990. She has been nominated on multiple occasions by the Austin Area Critics' Circle for the Best Dancer award, an honor which she won in 2001.

Being raised by art-loving Indian parents in Canada, Anuradha has the best of many worlds. Her western upbringing along with her traditional training in India and deep-rooted spirituality, make her a unique teacher and performer who connects with people from across the globe.

With an Honors BA in Philosophy and a Master of Fine Arts in Dance Ethnology, Anuradha combines artistry with scholarship. Numerous study grants and honors have allowed her to continue research and study of ancient Sanskrit texts. She received several grants from the Canada Council as well as the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute. She has been on the faculty of various universities around Austin, such as University of Texas, St. Edward’s, Southwestern, and Austin Community College.

With funding from the City of Austin Cultural Contracts, she presents assembly performances on Indian dance and culture in Austin area schools. She also performs innovative children’s shows as a part of other groups such as Cowboys and Indians: A Wild West Multicultural Show, Dance For World Peace: Dances Around the World, and Circle of Light: Holidays Around the World.

Anuradha is also an active performer and collaborator in Austin today and also continues to renew her ties with the Canadian dance scene. In addition to performing solo and participating in dance festivals, she collaborates with many artists and companies both locally and elsewhere including Ballet Austin, Gina Lalli, Tapestry Dance Company, Sally Jacques, and Canada’s critically acclaimed world music ensemble, Tasa.
