About
She learns every dance from the people who keep it alive.
Vandana is a trained dancer and the daughter of refugees. She has been to more than 100 countries, and in each one she looks for the people who carry a dance and asks them to teach her.
She is also a former senior official at the United Nations. She co-founded the Safe Cities Global Initiative to end violence against women and girls and grew it from 5 countries to 50.
