A rare combination of talent, intellect and beauty, Yogini is amongst the very few dancers who perform two Indian classical dance styles - Kathak & Odissi with equal dexterity and virtuosity.

She has received guidance from India's legendary dance maestros Pt. Birju Maharaj and Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra. Yogini's dance creatively infuses her individual artistic perception with the knowledge she has received from her gurus.

Her aesthetical approach is reflected both, in the interplay of complex rhythmic technique, as also in the expressive interpretation of emotive poetry. Endowed with a vivacious stage presence, Yogini's total involvement in dance and joyous spontaneity brings to her performances a rare dignity and intensity.

A unique feature of her exposition is that she creates an instant rapport with the audience through her articulate oratory. This ability has further found expression in her foray into the world of compering. Today Yogini is one of the leading compere of the city.

Yogini has established Kalanidhi, a school where she carries forward the tradition of these dance styles by imparting training in both the dance forms to young and promising students.
