Mary Ross

Long time resident of Lexington, Mary Ross is a singer-songwriter with an activist bent and a background in writing and law. Her musical roots come from her large family, who sang together in a crowded house through times of struggle and times of joy.

"For as long as I can remember music was always at the ready: several differently sized and strung guitars, a piano, uke, drum kit, turntables, albums and many singing voices." She started songwriting at eleven, and played in coffee houses throughout college.

Her album "This Day" can be found on Spotify and itunes under the artist "Mah Ree."

Jayshree Bala Rajamani

Jayshree Bala Rajamani is one of the leading practitioners and teachers of the ancient Indian dance form of Bharathanatyam in Massachusetts. She was initiated into this art by her mother and then came under the tutelage of eminent Guru K.J. Govindarajan. She specialized in Abhinaya with Guru Jamuna Krishnan.

Continuing her Guru’s legacy, she founded Bharathakalai School of Dance in 1987.

Over the years she has received numerous awards and accolades for both performing and teaching. In 2021 LexSeeHer, organized by the Town of Lexington, honored her by giving her a Visibility Banner for her service to the community through dance. In 2019 she had a successful performance tour of India to rave reviews. 2012 marked the 25th Anniversary of her dance school and her imparting training to multiple students both in India and now in the greater Boston area.
