“To Dance is to Express!”- the mantra of Mansee’s life. Mansee Singhi is a Columbus, Ohio based Indian classical dance performer, choreographer, and teacher. For 35 years, Mansee has fully devoted herself to this North Indian classical art form – Kathak. Kathak has an innate cultural, social, religious, and historical roots; these roots do not bind, but rather deepen the possibilities to create resonance and curiosity within both artist and viewer. The strength of her work begins with decades of dance training. Her teachers / Gurus have spent countless hours to uphold the balance between technical rigor, physicality, grace, and expressive authenticity that is the hallmark of this dance form. Mansee has been a member of the United Nations Dance Council since 2012 and more recently joined the Ohio Dance Board and the Ohio Teaching Artist Roster. Through the years, diverse influences have inspired her to immerse herself in pure dance, cross art form collaborations, and innovative partnerships. Mansee has been an active arts citizen in Columbus and nearby communities and has showcased and presented her work at various schools, universities and a variety of Indian cultural events. Her life’s mission as an artist is to create awareness and knowledge about Kathak, the creations from cross disciplinary collaborations and tell stories to audiences. Her vision is to elevate and encourage the innovative performances and collaborations to grow a wider audience for Indian classical dance and the intersections with diverse art styles.
