Tulsi Shah is a Los Angeles–based dance and performance artist whose work is rooted in storytelling and cross-cultural expression. A versatile mover with training across Western concert and commercial dance, global traditional forms, and aerial arts, she has toured across North America, performs regularly at Disney, and has appeared in works presented at venues such as Jacob’s Pillow. Grounded in her Indian heritage, Tulsi seeks collaborative, large-scale projects that inspire wonder. She holds a B.A. in Dance and Theatre Arts from Loyola Marymount University.
Tulsi has already been performing Indian Mythology and Me in our school assemblies starting in Fall 2025 and is a fantastic Bhima, an adorable Mouse King, and a formidable Mahishasura!
