Formerly known as Iman, she adopted the name Imanvi in honor of her late mother, symbolizing a deep connection to her roots and personal journey. From a young age, Imanvi was inspired by the power of storytelling through the arts. Her initial passion for dance has evolved into a rich and varied career, with training in both semi-classical Indian dance forms-such as Kathak and Bharatanatyam-and more contemporary styles like Bhangra, Bollywood, hip hop, and jazz.

Iman Esmail pursued her passion for dancing throughout her education, eventually joining a local dance academy in America. Excelling in various dance styles, she began participating in numerous dance competitions.

Her innovative approach to dance has led her to create successful fusion workshops that blend traditional Indian dance with hip hop, drawing enthusiastic crowds and acclaim. Imanvi's artistry is set to reach new heights with her upcoming feature film debut, where she'll star opposite the acclaimed Indian actor Prabhas in a film directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. As she embarks on this exciting new chapter, Imanvi remains dedicated to spreading light and love through her storytelling and creative expression.
