Anuja Rajendra of Ann Arbor mentioned in "The Hindu"

Congratulations to the Talented Anuja Rajendra of Ann Arbor, Michigan for being mentioned in today's edition of "The Hindu" in Life & Style / Metroplus section, under the title "Jive to the Beat". Anuja was the choreographer who taught the silver medal Ice Dancing skaters Meryl Davis and Charlie White at the recently concluded Winter Olympics at Vancouver, the basics of Indian dance, made suggestions for music and spent months helping to put together the choreography.

Here's a quote from the article
The movements of skaters Meryl Davis and Charlie White are Bollywood tango, and the music is from “Devdas”. Anuju Rajendra, who combines Bollywood music and dance with exercise at her BollyFit studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is credited with showing them the Indian dance style and suggesting the music. Couldn't have chosen a better tune to enlarge the fan base, Meryl told an interviewer.
Congratulations Anuja!!
