Ms. Shah has traveled across the world and back, touring around the globe to happily find a home with Arts In Motion Academy.  As one of Kim’s most beloved protégés, Kruti has also heavily trained with principal dancer of the Russian National Ballet Company and Ballet Mistress of The New Jersey Ballet, Ms. Marina Bodganova.  After completing the highly competitive New Jersey State Governors School dance program and receiving the programs only New Jersey Honored Dance Excellence Award, Kruti graduated from Rutgers University. She enter her college career as a Medical Student but her love for dance soon grew larger then her love for medicine.  Kruti earned the title of artistic director of AATMA, a very well known traditional and Bollywood dance company.  In 2011 she was a top Ten finalist out of thousands of dancers across the world, representing the United States on Star Plus’ hit reality show Just Dance.  Like “So You Think You Can Dance”, Kruti’s pointe work, hip hop ability, tap technique, contemporary comprehension, and even aerial silk work was challenged on every episode and performed masterfully.  Most recently she has toured around the world, across the US, China, South Africa, Canada, and Bahrein as Director and principal performer with Mystic India.  She is thrilled to be back under the same roof as Kim and looking forward to sharing her talent, knowledge and love for dance with the Arts In Motion Family.
