IIT grad, but honestly, my real degree is in loving dance. Burnout hit me hard, so I ditched the job and went full-on into dancing. Garba is my jam – can’t wait for Navratri every year! My specs are part of my style, and I just teach and dance the way I am, no filters. Family and friends got me through, now I’m all about sharing that joy. ### My work - **Dance Services**: I teach Garba dance workshop, Sangeet choreography, bridal dance routines, and Bollywood folk dance classes. - **My Teaching Style**: Dance is for joy, not stress. My classes are energetic, expressive, and all about having fun. - **Wedding & Sangeet Choreo**: I make easy, fun routines for families. Your Sangeet will be a party, not a performance. - **Garba Workshops**: Beginner Garba techniques, simple choreography, and we end up dancing together.
