About Dance Classes & Workshops
What Dance Means to Us
At Dhurii, dance isn't about getting every step right. It's about feeling at home in your own skin and letting your body speak. I see dance as a way to connect - with yourself, and with others. Some days it's sweaty and tough, other days it's light and fun. All of it matters.
How You Can Move With Us
There’s no one way to join in. I offer ongoing classes, special workshops, immersive courses, and community events. Whether you’re just starting or have been dancing for years, you’ll find something here.
- Contemporary dance workshops: Focus on body awareness, flow, and creative expression with techniques like floorwork and release.
- Belly dance classes for beginners: We mix Tribal Fusion and other styles, working on isolations and muscle control. All bodies welcome.
- Indo-Fusion: My own blend of Kathak, folk, Bollywood, belly dance. We play with hastas (hand gestures) and chakkars (spins).
- Afro dance foundations: Feel the energy and rhythm in these vibrant sessions.
- Kids creative movement sessions: For kids 4-12, it’s all about games, teamwork, and discovering how their bodies move.
- Choreography workshop for adults: Quick, focused routines for anyone who loves to learn something new.
Our Tribe
It’s not just about classes. We’re a community. You can join performance batches, open mics, exchange sessions, or chill at Khel Khel Mein (Movement Game Night). Everyone’s story, every move, every mistake - sab chalta hai (everything’s okay here). That’s what makes Dhurii feel like home.

My Story
We’re Dhurii. We started out with a simple Indo-Fusion batch—Kathak, folk, belly dance, Bollywood, all mixed up. It wasn’t just about steps, it was about stories, real smiles, the vibe. People came for 5:30 am rehearsals, not just to dance, but to be together. Over time, we listened deeper. Women shared about pain, old wounds. So Dhurii grew—now it’s dance, meditation, womb wisdom, healing. Here, you show up as you are. That’s what matters.
My Work
Our Classes & Workshops - We offer Indo-Fusion dance classes, Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, Bollywood, kids creative movement, Acro Yoga, and more.
Open to All Levels - Beginner to intermediate, everyone finds a spot. No experience needed, just the will to move.
Safe Space, Real Connections - It’s not just steps—it’s laughter, learning, and finding your tribe. The journey matters most.
Wellness & Healing - We run somatic exploration workshops, breathwork, meditation, and mentorship for menstrual health.
Annual Showcase – FIRA - Every year, our students perform at FIRA. Performance batches start in September. Everyone gets a chance.
