ANIKAI Dance is the most recent incarnation of Choreographer Wendy Jehlen’s company that has been evolving since 1998 in India, Italy, Japan and the US. Moving across, amongst, between and in the space between cultural, linguistic and geographic boundaries are the modus operandi of the company and the choreographer.

ANIKAI Dance is a project of Akhra: the Dancing Grounds, Inc. and, as such, shares Akhra’s mission.  Akhra's goal as an organization is to break down perceived boundaries between people, cultures and art forms.  Akhra's performances weave together music, dance and storytelling, folk and classical, modern and traditional, secular and sacred, aural and visual. With each synthesis, a language is created. Akhra communicates in a unique and constantly evolving language.
