{"value"=>"<p>Raised in Detroit, Michigan, Sharon Lowen trained in modern dance and ballet as a teen. In 1973, after graduating from the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in humanities, fine arts, and Asian studies and a master's degree in dance, Lowen accepted a Fulbright scholarship to study Manipuri dance in India. In 1975, she received a renewal of her Fulbright award, which allowed her to remain in India, expanding her studies to Chhau and Odissi dance. She has lived and worked in India ever since, achieving success as a foreign-born expert performer and choreographer of classical Indian dance. Throughout her career, she has periodically returned to the United States, performing classical Indian dance recitals around the country during these visits.</p>"}
