Meet the Team Behind Azaya Dance

It is not just about the steps here, it is about the vibe we bring to the dance floor. Deepthi, our founder, has spent over a decade perfecting her craft under international masters to ensure that when you step into our studio, you are learning from someone who is as obsessed with authentic belly dance as she is with making you feel powerful.

Deepthi HM, the heart of Azaya Dance Academy, started this journey back in 2017 with a simple mission: create a judgment-free space where every woman, regardless of age or background, could fall in love with their body.

With over 10 years of personal experience in belly dance and 8 years of teaching, she brings a blend of traditional Oriental styles and high-energy Tahitian dance to Bangalore. She has consistently honed her skill, training with world-renowned artists like Sadie Marquardt and Aziza Mandi, ensuring that the techniques taught are both authentic and safe.

What you get at Azaya is not just a dance class, it is a happy place. Whether it is our weekly weekend sessions or specialized workshops, the focus remains on building strength, confidence, and a supportive community. We were the first to introduce authentic Tahitian dance training (Ori Tahiti) in Bangalore, and we take pride in mixing those classical roots with modern, fun fusion elements. When you join us, you are not just a student; you are part of the Azaya squad. Come, find your flow, and let your hips do the talking.
