Baisali’s parents, extremely fond of Indian Classical Dance wanted her to learn classical dances along with her academics. So her formal dance training began at 4 in four forms of classical dances.

In Manipur, Baisali has learnt under Padmasree Ojha Th. Babu Singh, Ima Thoranisabi Devi, Sri Lokendrajit Singh and Smt. A. Lakshmi Devi. Baisali learnt Thang-ta (Martial Art of Manipur) under N. Rihini Chandra and P. Henry Meitei.  After Completing Master Degree in English literature from Calcutta University Baisali dedicated herself to practice this art form in all possible ways.
