Azaya Dance Academy: Belly Dance Classes in Bangalore
Step into our happy place. At Azaya, we are more than just dance steps—we are a community where you can shimmy, shake off the stress, and finally feel at home in your own body.
"There are shortcuts to happiness and dancing is one of them." As the founder of Azaya, I've been spreading this happiness for over 6 years. This is my passion.
I have been a belly dancer for over 10 years and have been training others for 8 years. I was trained under Master Teacher Payal Gupta and have pioneered the art ever since.
I've constantly honed my skills by attending workshops with eminent international artists. I am also a trained Tahitian dancer, having learned the art of Ori Tahiti from acclaimed dancers.
We offer regular classes and workshops for kids and adults, from ages 6 to 65. Our mission is to engrave a love for belly dance in the hearts of all women.
What do we teach? We specialize in both the beautiful art of Belly Dance and the vibrant, energetic dance style of Ori Tahiti.
Let your hips flow! Azaya Dance Academy is a place to explore movement, find your rhythm, and connect with a beautiful art form.
Size does not matter, just belly dance. We believe every body is a masterpiece, and our classes are a celebration of uniqueness and beauty in all its forms.
About this collection
Joining our beginner batches is more than just signing up for a class. We break down the technicals—like hip drops, chest diamonds, and those fun shimmies—but we focus just as much on the community. Whether you choose our Jayanagar, Malleswaram, or online sessions, you are stepping into a supportive, small-batch group where we celebrate your progress with choreography shoots and showcases.
At Azaya Dance Academy, we believe belly dance is for every body. Established in 2017, our academy has grown into a space where women from all walks of life come to find rhythm, strength, and friendship. We don't just teach the steps; we teach self-love.
Why Dance With Us?
We specialize in Indian fusion belly dance, blending classical movements with traditional belly dance techniques. Our classes are designed to be a complete escape from the daily 9-to-6 grind. You will find that our sessions are full of laughter, quirkiness, and a whole lot of 'Chu Chu Shimmy' energy. We keep our batches small, typically 10-15 students, to ensure everyone gets personal attention and space to grow.
What You Will Learn
Our curriculum covers everything from the basics to advanced prop mastery:
- Foundations: Core isolations, hip drops, figure 8s, and undulations (camels).
- Technique Drills: Training in Turkish, Lebanese, and our signature fusion styles.
- Props: We love incorporating silk veils, swords, and finger cymbals to build arm strength and posture.
- Performance: For those who want the stage experience, we offer opportunities to perform in our studio showcases.
Where To Find Us
We operate out of Jayanagar, Malleswaram, and Sahakarnagar in Bengaluru. If you cannot make it to the studio, our live online series brings the same supportive, high-energy environment directly to your living room. We even have specialized sessions for kids and fun, themed workshops for bachelorettes and team-building events. Come as you are, leave feeling stronger.
