Prita’s interest in dance began during her kindergarten days back in her hometown Jakarta, Indonesia. Her first formal dance training was in Ballet. She trained in Contemporary Dance under Gianti Giadi and performed with her company, GIGI Dance Company, for local and international events. GIGI was Prita's first introduction to the fusion of Contemporary and Indonesian traditional dance. Prior to NSCD, she attended LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore to gain a diploma in dance, and was exposed to other styles such as Jazz and Hip-hop. At NSCD, she has worked with Wayne Parsons, Joseph Mercier and Anthony Missen, and performed repertoire by Phoenix Dance Theatre and Kasia Witek. Upon graduation, Prita hopes to continue performing, creating and teaching dance back home and also in other corners of the world. Prita would like to say a very big thank you to her family especially her parents for their continuous support and letting her pursue her dreams.
