To be honest, it's that rush you get when the music starts and you just want to move. `Sabko samjhaana bohot mushkil hai` (Hard to explain to everyone), but teaching Garba is pure joy for me. It's not about nailing every step perfectly, it's about feeling the vibe and having fun. ### What Happens in My Workshops I keep things real and super chill. It's more like a pre-Navratri gathering than a stiff dance class. Here's what you get: - We learn a full-on one-minute routine on a trending Garba track. Makes you ready for any Navratri dance prep. - I show easy, practical moves you can use at any Garba circle, not some complicated steps no one remembers. - Every session ends with all of us dancing together, having proper `mazza` (fun) and getting those steps into your muscle memory. ### Who Can Join? Doesn't matter if you’ve never danced before or if you’re already a pro. My workshops are beginner-friendly. I’ll break everything down so you never feel lost. If you’re already into dance, you’ll pick up new tricks and some Bollywood Garba fusion moves too. ### Styles & Formats I love mixing up the energy. Sometimes it’s all about the traditional Garba and Dandiya, sometimes we go full Bollywood with those "Nagada Sang Dhol" feels. We even dive into folk styles like Dakla when the mood strikes. You can join my in-person workshops across Bangalore - I keep switching studios so more people can come. Or, if you’re not in town, online works too. Recordings included, so you can dance whenever you want. ## Highlights Browse through Aakanksha Doda's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/dance_with_specs/garba-dandiya-workshops/featured) - [Video: This is the feeling I want to share with everyone.
