I do not believe in strict, rigid training that makes you feel stiff. Instead, we break down those flowing, elegant routines into simple steps so you can actually enjoy the music, not just struggle with footwork. There is a specific kind of magic when you pair soulful Bollywood tracks with the fluid grace of semi-classical dance. It is not just about technique, it is about the emotion you bring to the floor. In my workshops, we explore everything from the expressive storytelling found in songs like Raanjhanaa to the joyful, flowy movements of 90s hits. My classes are perfect for beginners who want to move with grace without the pressure of a professional dance academy. We focus on the basics of body alignment and hand gestures, but keep the vibe light and fun. If you have ever watched a video and wanted to know how to get that flow in your own dance, this is where we start. I conduct these sessions both online via Zoom and as in-person pop-ups in Bangalore hubs like Koramangala and Indiranagar. We keep the batch sizes small so I can actually give you feedback on your form and help you refine your expressions. It is all about community, connection, and getting that jhatka of joy when you nail a sequence. You will walk away with a choreographed piece that you can perform or just dance for your own happiness. ## About Aakanksha Doda Hi, I am Aakanksha!
