About Anaish

He also taught dance at the Brit School and performed in contemporary, Bollywood, and semi-classical styles.

What his clients have said
“Anaish was an integral part of our first BHF colleague festival – HeartFest in 2022 as we looked to re-engage colleagues with our cause and each other post-pandemic. He co-hosted day one of our three day line-up and smashed it out of the park. He was collaborative and thoughtful and his energy, enthusiasm and superb hosting skills made him a headline act at the festival and we simply couldn’t have done it without him. He went well over and above to make the event a success for the BHF and our colleagues and as well as what he delivered it was the way in which he delivered it that was so special. Thank you Anaish – it was a joy have you as part of HeartFest 2022. #brave #informed #compassionate #driven” – Head of Internal Comms, British Heart Foundation
