Professional Dance Judge and Event Performer
I look beyond the steps to find the energy and the story behind every performance. From college fests to high-energy battles, I bring a fresh, authentic perspective to the judging panel.
It was an honour to be on the judging panel for MERAKI’24. When I'm in the judge's seat, I'm looking for that raw energy and asli flavour that makes a performance unforgettable.
This is me in my element during a showcase at CAMP BIG DANCE. For me, judging comes from a place of experience, and I look for dancers who connect with the beat and tell a story with every move.
Bringing my own flavour to a high-energy Bollywood track. My experience covers multiple genres, so as a judge I can appreciate everything from sharp commercial choreography to freestyle flow.
A glimpse into my personal style. As a dancer and judge, I believe your persona and how you present yourself is just as important as your performance on stage.
Learning from the best, like the amazing @badgyalcassiee at CAMP BIG DANCE. Staying active in the community ensures my feedback as a judge is always current, relevant, and helps dancers grow.
Dance is about expression, captured here in a moment of movement. I look for this same level of artistry and control when I'm judging a competition.
My style reflects my approach to dance: modern, confident, and full of energy. Whether I'm performing or judging, I bring my whole vibe to the floor.
About Featured
When I am in the judge’s chair, I look for that raw, asli flavour that separates a performance from just a standard routine. I do not believe in rigid, old-school criteria because dance evolves daily, and I stay connected to that growth by training with international artists myself. You are not getting a paper-pusher but someone who understands the hustle, the musicality, and the technical grind that dancers put into their craft.
Judging is about constructive growth. Whether it is a college fest or a community dance battle, I focus on specific metrics, including clean footwork, stage presence, and how well the dancers connect with the beat. I have spent years training in styles ranging from Afro and Hip Hop to Bollywood, which gives me the versatility to evaluate across different genres fairly.
When you bring me on board for your event, you get more than just a scorecard. I engage with the crowd during technical breaks to keep the energy high and provide verbal, actionable feedback on the mic that helps the performers understand exactly where they can level up.
If your event needs a boost, I offer a high-intensity 2-minute solo showcase. This is where I bring that professional, street-style energy to the stage, showing participants what it means to truly own the space. I handle everything from scoring sheets to tie-breaking decisions for battles. My pricing packages are flexible, covering everything from standard 4-hour judging stints to full-day battle event coverage across Delhi NCR and beyond. Let's make your next dance competition magic!
