# How to hire a choreographer for a sangeet dance in Bengaluru

We read the 19 requests people in Bengaluru sent mytribe between April and October asking for a choreographer to teach them a dance: a bride's solo, the bride's parents' dance, a couple's first dance at home, an office act. We also read ten Bengaluru dance studios' sites for a wedding price, and one prints it. Here's what one song costs, how many sessions it takes, and what to settle before you pay.

19 requests for a choreographer · 10 studio sites read · Updated 27 Oct 2026

Every price here is a studio's own published price, with its city on the same line. The one estimate says so. The studios are named at the end, in Where the numbers come from. Check every price when you book.

## Q1. What does a choreographer cost for a sangeet dance in Bengaluru?

**A reel learnt with friends is free and an online routine is ₹2,500 a song. Two hours of one-to-one coaching is about ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 (our estimate). A Kolkata company charges ₹15,000 to teach a group one routine over six hours, and the one Bengaluru studio that prints a price charges ₹20,000 for a 2-minute routine, with coaching on top.** We found no Bengaluru choreographer who prints a price for a Bollywood sangeet song, so ask each quote how many hours and how many people it covers.

- **A reel, learnt with friends:** Free. Fine for a few friends with one person who can lead. Nobody fixes the spacing. ![An illustration of three friends in a Bengaluru flat copying a dance from a phone propped on a coffee table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-reel-9848be992f.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **An online routine, learnt from videos:** ₹2,500 a song. A Kolkata company's online plan: you pick the songs and the order, then it sends counted videos or coaches on Zoom. ![An illustration of four women of one family learning a dance from a laptop on the dining table, with no teacher in the room](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-online-c0775593b6.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **Two hours of one-to-one coaching, then a video:** About ₹5,000 to ₹7,000. Our estimate, for a couple or a few friends: two hours at ₹2,500 (a Kolkata company's one-to-one rate) to ₹3,500 (a Bengaluru studio's coaching rate). A group costs more: that studio's group hour is ₹3,500 plus ₹500 a person. ![An illustration of a dance teacher showing one step to four relatives in a living room while one of them records her on a phone](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-two-hours-c639e4fb9f.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **One routine for a group, six hours of teaching:** ₹15,000. A Kolkata company's own price, taught at its Kolkata studios: a 2 to 3 minute medley of 2 or 3 songs, up to 15 people. Its couple's routine is ₹18,000 for the same six hours. ![An illustration of a dance teacher clapping out the count for a family group of mixed ages in a hall](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-teacher-song-4c20934cbf.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A Bengaluru studio's routine, made to your music:** ₹20,000 plus coaching. A tango and fusion studio's 2-minute routine, coached at ₹3,500 an hour. Studio rent and travel are extra. ![An illustration of a dance teacher guiding a couple through a partner turn in a mirrored studio](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-studio-routine-2d90adf685.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A whole family sangeet:** From ₹75,000. A Kolkata company's own price for four to six sets, or from ₹1,50,000 with a floor manager on the day. ![An illustration of a family group dancing on a sangeet stage while a choreographer cues them from the side, guests seen from behind](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/step-sangeet-915f961750.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.

**Few here print a price.** Of ten Bengaluru dance studios whose sites we read, one prints a wedding price, and it teaches tango and fusion. So the group prices above are a Kolkata company's own, taught in Kolkata, and the one estimate is for a couple's coaching. Each drawing shows what that kind of help looks like. The number of people in it isn't the number a price covers.

**Check what a number is for before you compare.** The same studio can quote a routine, an hour and a head.

**What did the choreographer mean?**

- **Per song:** **One price for one song's routine.** It may not include the teaching. A Bengaluru studio charges ₹20,000 for a 2-minute routine and prices its coaching by the hour. Ask how many hours of teaching are in the song price.
- **Per hour:** **The teacher's time, whatever gets done in it.** One Bengaluru studio charges ₹3,500 an hour for coaching, a Kolkata company ₹2,500 for one-to-one. Ask how many hours they expect your group to need for one song.
- **Per head:** **A charge for each dancer, on top of a base price.** A Bengaluru studio adds ₹500 a person to its ₹3,500 group hour, for at least 10 people. Ask whether the per-person charge is for every session or once.
- **Mashup:** **Two or more songs cut into one track for one routine.** A Chennai academy charges ₹300 a song for a basic song edit. Ask who makes the final track and who gives it to the DJ.
- **Formation:** ![An illustration of a family group standing on coloured tape marks in two staggered rows while a choreographer points one person to a new spot](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/term-formation-c13cad4247.png) **Where each person stands, and how the group moves round the stage.** Ask them to plan it for the size of your stage. Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **Cueing:** **Starting each group on time on the night,** from the side of the stage. Ask whether the choreographer comes on the day to do it, and what that costs.
- **Dress rehearsal:** **A full run-through in the outfits and shoes you'll wear.** A lehenga or heels change how every step feels. Ask for one in the last week, on a floor the size of the stage.

The prices in these meanings are each studio's own, from Q1's sources.

**Ours:** DTown, a dance studio in Hebbal, teaches couple, family and ladies' sangeet routines at its studio. Ask for the price.

**Source of this answer:** the published prices of a Bengaluru studio and a Kolkata sangeet company, read on 22 and 24 October 2026, and one estimate from their one-to-one hourly rates.

- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: ₹20,000 for a 2-minute choreography; coaching ₹3,500 an hour or ₹30,000 for 10 hours; groups ₹3,500 an hour plus ₹500 a person, at least 10 people; studio rent and travel extra. Its own page, read 22 October 2026.
- A Kolkata sangeet company: ₹2,500 a song online for families outside Kolkata, with song and performer choice, the show order, and counted practice videos or live Zoom coaching; one-to-one coaching ₹2,500 an hour; a mini group medley of 2 or 3 songs, 2 to 3 minutes, up to 15 people, 6 hours of training, ₹15,000; a couple's 60 to 90 second routine, 4 sessions of 1.5 hours, with help on the song and the edit, ₹18,000; a family sangeet from ₹75,000 for four to six sets, and from ₹1,50,000 with filler videos, an anchor brief, backup dancers and a floor manager on the day. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.
- A Chennai dance academy: a basic song edit ₹300 a song. Its own page, no date shown.
- Our estimate: two hours at the one-to-one rates of ₹2,500 (Kolkata) to ₹3,500 (Bengaluru) is ₹5,000 to ₹7,000. For a group of ten, the Bengaluru studio's group hour is ₹3,500 plus 10 × ₹500, ₹8,500, if the ₹500 is charged each hour; its page doesn't say.
- Ten Bengaluru studios' sites read for a wedding price, 20 and 22 October 2026: one prints one. The other nine ask you to get in touch.
- [DTown](https://mytribe.in/dtowndanceandfitnessstudio): what it teaches, from its own posts and a call with our team, September 2026.

## Q2. How many rehearsals does a sangeet dance need, and how early should we start?

**Plan about six hours of teaching for one 2 to 3 minute routine, in four or five sessions, plus one run-through in the clothes and shoes you'll wear. Start six to eight weeks before for a small group and ten to twelve weeks before for a whole family sangeet.** The hard part is getting everyone in one room, so fix the session days with the family before you book.

- **6 to 12 weeks before:** Book the choreographer: six to eight weeks for a small group, ten to twelve for a whole family sangeet. Fix the session days with everyone who's dancing first.
- **Before the first session:** Settle the songs and who dances in which. Tell the choreographer privately who can't do what (Q6).
- **The sessions:** Four or five, of 1 to 1.5 hours, for each routine. Ask for a video of each finished routine so people practise at home.
- **The last week:** One run-through on a floor the size of the stage, in the outfits and shoes.
- **A few days before:** The final track to the DJ, in the order you'll dance (Q9).

**Studios that print their hours give one 2 to 3 minute routine about six hours of teaching.**

| The routine | Teaching | Whose figure |
|---|---|---|
| A couple's 60 to 90 second routine | 6 hours. 4 sessions of 1.5 hours | A Kolkata sangeet company |
| A 2 to 3 minute medley of 2 or 3 songs, up to 15 dancers | 6 hours | A Kolkata sangeet company |
| Up to 2 to 2.5 minutes | 5 one-hour lessons | A US studio |
| Up to 3 to 3.5 minutes | 7 one-hour lessons | A US studio |
| Up to 5 to 5.5 minutes | 10 one-hour lessons | A US studio |

Each studio's own page. No Bengaluru studio prints its hours.

**Book early in the season.** For a November to February wedding, the Kolkata company says it books about four months ahead. With less time than that, see Q3.

**Source of this answer:** the hours and lead times a Kolkata sangeet company and a US studio publish.

- A Kolkata sangeet company: a 60 to 90 second couple routine in 4 sessions of 1.5 hours; a 2 to 3 minute medley of 2 or 3 songs for up to 15 dancers in 6 hours; lead times of 6 to 8 weeks for small groups, 10 to 12 weeks for a full family sangeet; November to February books about four months ahead. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.
- A US studio: five one-hour private lessons for a routine up to 2 to 2.5 minutes, seven for up to 3 to 3.5, ten for up to 5 to 5.5. Its own page, read 22 October 2026. Used for hours only.

## Q3. Our sangeet is in three weeks. Is it too late to learn a dance?

**Not for one routine: about six hours of teaching fits in three weeks at two sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours a week. A whole sangeet of five or six routines needs 30 hours or more, so cut to one or two routines, join two or three songs into one short medley, and keep the steps simple.** Ask for a video after every session so people practise in between.

**What fits in three weeks.** Studios give one 2 to 3 minute routine about six hours of teaching (Q2). Two sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours a week for three weeks is six to nine hours: one routine, or two if the group can manage three sessions a week. Five or six routines at about six hours each is 30 to 36 hours.

- **Keep the dances that matter.** The couple's dance and one big family number first.
- **Join songs into one medley.** A Kolkata company teaches a 2 to 3 minute medley of two or three songs to up to 15 dancers in six hours.
- **Keep the steps simple,** and say so on the first call (Q6).
- **A session or two to set the steps, then a video** (Q7), if the teacher can't fit more.
- **Book this week.** The one Bengaluru studio that prints its terms wants booked hours used within four weeks, so three weeks of sessions is an ordinary booking there.

**Source of this answer:** the hours a Kolkata sangeet company publishes for one routine, and a Bengaluru studio's booking terms.

- A Kolkata sangeet company: a 2 to 3 minute medley of 2 or 3 songs for up to 15 dancers in 6 hours of training; a couple routine in 4 sessions of 1.5 hours. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.
- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: booked hours used within 4 weeks. Its own page, read 22 October 2026.
- Our sums: two sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours a week for three weeks is 6 to 9 hours; five or six routines at about six hours each is 30 to 36 hours.

## Q4. Why does one sangeet song cost ₹2,000 at one studio and ₹20,000 at another?

**Because they aren't the same job, and we found no two studios that print a price for the same one. ₹2,000 is a Chennai academy's fee for a song up to three minutes, and its page doesn't say for how many people or how many sessions. ₹20,000 is a Bengaluru tango and fusion studio's fee for making a 2-minute routine, with coaching at ₹3,500 an hour, studio rent and travel on top.** A song price tells you little until you know the hours, the people and what's extra, so ask all three.

| The price | What it covers | On top | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₹2,000 a song | A song up to 3 minutes, from its sangeet price list. People and sessions not stated | ₹300 for a basic song edit | A Chennai academy, page undated |
| ₹2,500 a song | Online: you pick the songs and the order, then counted videos or Zoom coaching | Nothing stated | A Kolkata company, for families outside Kolkata |
| ₹15,000 | A 2 to 3 minute medley of 2 or 3 songs, up to 15 people, 6 hours of teaching | Nothing stated | The same Kolkata company, at its studios |
| ₹18,000 | A couple's 60 to 90 second routine, 4 sessions of 1.5 hours, help with the song and the edit | Nothing stated | The same Kolkata company, at its studios |
| ₹20,000 | Making a 2-minute routine to your music, in tango or a fusion | Coaching ₹3,500 an hour, studio rent, travel | A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio |

Each studio's own page, read 22 and 24 October 2026.

**Why the Kolkata company charges a couple more.** It charges ₹3,000 more for a couple's routine than for a group's, for the same six hours, and the couple's price includes help choosing and editing the song.

**What ₹20,000 may leave out.** The Bengaluru studio sells its coaching by the hour, so the ₹20,000 may pay only for making the routine. For a group of ten, its group hour is ₹3,500 plus ₹500 a person. Ask whether the ₹500 is each hour or once.

**Source of this answer:** the published prices of a Chennai academy, a Kolkata sangeet company and a Bengaluru studio, read on 22 and 24 October 2026.

- A Chennai dance academy: ₹2,000 a song up to 3 minutes, ₹2,500 above, under its sangeet fees; a whole sangeet ₹19,999, the studio ₹2,000 extra; a basic song edit ₹300. It doesn't say for how many people or how many sessions. No date on the page.
- A Kolkata sangeet company: ₹2,500 a song online for families outside Kolkata; a mini group medley, 2 or 3 songs, 2 to 3 minutes, up to 15 people, 6 hours of training, ₹15,000; a couple's 60 to 90 second routine, 4 sessions of 1.5 hours, song and edit input, ₹18,000. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.
- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: ₹20,000 for a 2-minute choreography to your music; coaching ₹3,500 an hour; groups ₹3,500 an hour plus ₹500 a person, at least 10; studio rent and travel extra.
- Our sum: ₹18,000 minus ₹15,000 is ₹3,000.

## Q5. Will a choreographer come home to teach a sangeet dance?

**Ask before anything else, because it changes the bill: the one Bengaluru studio that prints its terms adds travel and studio rent on top of its fee, and one routine takes four or five visits.** Get the charge for each visit in writing. With a big group or a small living room, a studio or your society's clubhouse is easier than home.

**A studio gives you a big floor and mirrors.** Home saves the family's travel, which matters with elders and kids. A couple in Hebbal asked us for their first dance to be taught at home. A bride's parents in Koramangala would practise only in Koramangala.

**Ask these before you agree a price.**

- Do you come home, and what is the charge for each visit?
- If we use your studio, is the studio in the price?
- How big a floor do you need for our group?

**The speaker stops at 10 pm outside.** Karnataka's 2022 order bars loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am outside closed halls, such as community and banquet halls, unless you have written permission. So an evening rehearsal on a terrace or lawn with a speaker ends at 10. A closed clubhouse hall can go later, if your society allows it.

DTown teaches at its studio in Hebbal, which has a wooden floor, mirrors and a sound system.

**Source of this answer:** a Bengaluru studio's published terms, two requests to mytribe, and Karnataka's 2022 loudspeaker order as reported.

- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: studio rent and travel are not in its fee, and it states no amount. Its own page, read 22 October 2026.
- Requests to mytribe: a couple in Hebbal, October 2026, wanting a choreographer to teach their first dance at home; a bride's parents in Koramangala, October 2026, wanting practice only in Koramangala.
- Karnataka's order of May 2022: no loudspeakers from 10 pm to 6 am, except in closed premises such as auditoriums, community halls and banquet halls, unless a committee gives written permission. Reported by The News Minute, 11 May 2022.
- [DTown](https://mytribe.in/dtowndanceandfitnessstudio): rehearsals at its Hebbal studio, with a wooden floor, mirrors and a sound system. From its own posts.

## Q6. Sangeet dance for family who can't dance: can the elders and a shy husband still look good?

**Yes, if the choreographer knows before the first session. Tell them privately who has bad knees, who won't dance and who'd rather stand at the back, and ask for steps they can do standing or walking, with a simple part for the shy ones.** Asking for easy steps is a normal request, and a family routine is built around who's in it.

**Say it on the first call, in private.** The choreographer needs to know who has bad knees, who's nervous and who'd rather not be in the front row before they plan the formation.

- **Elders:** steps done standing or walking, with a seat close by if they need one.
- **A husband who won't dance:** a simple part, like walking in or a few hand moves, so the routine works round him.
- **Anyone shy about the front:** ask for a spot at the back or the side. Nobody needs to give a reason.
- **Kids:** ask how the teacher keeps the ones who miss practice in the routine.

DTown in Hebbal describes its family routines as kept simple and easy to learn, for groups of all ages.

![An illustration of a family sangeet rehearsal: an older woman doing hand moves beside a chair, a man walking in with a wave, three younger women dancing, and a choreographer showing an easy step](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru/family-mixed-28488d4a93.png) One routine with a part for everyone: the elder's hand moves by a chair, the husband's walk-in, the dancers at the front. Picture: Illustration by mytribe.

- [DTown](https://mytribe.in/dtowndanceandfitnessstudio): family groups of all ages, kept simple and easy to learn. From its own posts.

## Q7. Can we learn the sangeet dance from a reel or online and save the money?

**For a few friends with one person who can lead, yes: a reel is free and an online routine is ₹2,500 a song. For ten or more people of mixed ages, or anything with formations or a surprise entry, pay for a session or two with a teacher to set the steps and the spacing, then practise from a video.** A reel can't watch you and fix what's wrong.

**What ₹5,000 buys for one song**

| Price | What it is | A teacher in the room | Practice videos | Studio rent and travel | Whose price | What changes at the next price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹2,500 a song | An online routine | No, Zoom coaching at most | Counted videos | None | A Kolkata sangeet company | One-to-one coaching adds a teacher in the room to set the steps. |
| About ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 | Two hours of one-to-one coaching, for a couple or a few friends | 2 hours | Ask them to film the routine | Ask | Our estimate | A group routine is six hours of teaching for up to 15 people. |
| ₹15,000 | A group routine, 2 to 3 minutes, up to 15 people | 6 hours | Ask | At its studios | A Kolkata sangeet company, at its Kolkata studios | A couple's routine adds help with the song and the edit, for the same six hours. |
| ₹18,000 | A couple's routine, 60 to 90 seconds | 6 hours, in 4 sessions | Ask | At its studios | A Kolkata sangeet company, at its Kolkata studios | The Bengaluru studio's routine is made to your music, with coaching billed by the hour on top. |
| ₹20,000 plus coaching | A Bengaluru studio's 2-minute routine | ₹3,500 an hour on top | Not on its page | Extra | A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio |  |

Under ₹2,500 a song: A reel costs nothing: copy it with friends. Nobody watches you or fixes the spacing.

Worked example, for a budget of about ₹5,000:

- At about ₹5,000, the nearest price you can pay for is About ₹5,000 to ₹7,000: two hours of one-to-one coaching, for a couple or a few friends (Our estimate).
- It gets you: A teacher in the room: 2 hours.
- Ask about: practice videos and studio rent and travel.
- What changes at the next price, ₹15,000. A group routine is six hours of teaching for up to 15 people.

Each step is one example: a Kolkata company's own prices (its group and couple routines are taught in Kolkata), our estimate for two hours at the one-to-one rates a Kolkata company (₹2,500) and a Bengaluru studio (₹3,500) print, and that Bengaluru studio's routine.

[Ask us about my budget (WhatsApp +91 63600 04054)](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi!%20I'm%20looking%20for%20a%20choreographer%20in%20Bengaluru%20for%20one%20song.%0ABudget%3A%20%0AMust%20have%3A%20)

**Two of the 19 people who asked us for a choreographer since April gave ₹5,000 as their budget:** a bride for one 5 to 7 minute dance, and a company for its employees' dance. At one-to-one rates it buys about two hours with a teacher. For a group of ten at the Bengaluru studio's group rate, it buys under an hour.

**The online route** suits a couple or a few friends, or someone in another city who joins for the last sessions. You get the steps and the counts, but nobody sees your spacing.

**A session or two, then the video** is the middle way. Ask the teacher to set the steps and the formation in the first hour, run it in the second, and film it with the counts.

**Source of this answer:** a Kolkata sangeet company's and a Bengaluru studio's published prices, one estimate from their one-to-one rates, and the budgets two people gave mytribe.

- A Kolkata sangeet company: ₹2,500 a song online for families outside Kolkata, with counted practice videos or live Zoom coaching; one-to-one coaching ₹2,500 an hour; a group medley for up to 15 people, 6 hours, ₹15,000; a couple's routine, 6 hours, ₹18,000, both at its Kolkata studios. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.
- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: ₹20,000 for a 2-minute routine; coaching ₹3,500 an hour; groups ₹3,500 an hour plus ₹500 a person, at least 10; studio rent and travel extra. Its own page, read 22 October 2026.
- Our estimate: two hours at the one-to-one rates of ₹2,500 to ₹3,500 is ₹5,000 to ₹7,000. Our sum: a group hour for ten at the Bengaluru studio is ₹3,500 plus 10 × ₹500, ₹8,500, if the ₹500 is charged each hour.
- Budgets: 2 of the 19 Bengaluru requests to mytribe for a choreographer, April to October 2026, gave ₹5,000, in their own messages: a bride for one 5 to 7 minute dance, and a company for an employees' dance.

## Q8. How much advance does a choreographer take, and do we get it back if they cancel?

**Ask before you pay, because the one Bengaluru studio that prints its terms takes the whole fee upfront and refunds nothing.** It lets you move only two booked hours, and the hours must be used within four weeks. That's one studio's rule, so ask each choreographer the questions below and get the answers in a WhatsApp message.

**Ask these before you pay.** It costs nothing while they still want your booking.

- How much now, and when is the rest due?
- Who teaches each session? A studio with a team may send different teachers. DTown, for one, has several.
- If the teacher falls ill, who comes?
- If our date moves, what happens to the hours we paid for?
- Can we move a session if half the family can't come?

If something isn't going to plan with a choreographer you booked through us, a person here sorts it out.

**Source of this answer:** a Bengaluru studio's published booking terms, read on 22 October 2026.

- A Bengaluru tango and fusion studio: payment upfront and not refundable; no cancellation once booked; up to 2 hours can be rescheduled after the schedule is set; booked hours used within 4 weeks. Its own page.
- [DTown](https://mytribe.in/dtowndanceandfitnessstudio): a team of named instructors, from its own posts.
- We found no other choreographer in Bengaluru who prints an advance or a cancellation rule.

## Q9. Does the choreographer come to the sangeet on the day, and who edits the music?

**Ask whether the day itself is in the price. A Kolkata company that prints its packages puts a floor manager at the sangeet in its premium package, from ₹1,50,000, and charges ₹8,000 a day plus travel for a choreographer outside Kolkata. Decide early who cuts the songs into one track, and get the final file to the DJ a few days before, in the order you'll dance.**

**Somebody has to start each group on time.** If the choreographer isn't there, give the job to one person in the family by name, with the running order in hand. The emcee runs the order on the stage: see our [guide to emcees and anchors](https://mytribe.in/guides/emcees-and-anchors-in-bengaluru).

- **The track:** ask who cuts it, in what format the DJ wants it, and send it a few days before.
- **The order:** one list, with the songs in the order you'll dance, to the DJ, the emcee and the choreographer.
- **The run-through:** once on a floor the size of the stage, in the outfits and shoes.

**Source of this answer:** a Kolkata sangeet company's published prices.

- A Kolkata sangeet company: its premium family sangeet, from ₹1,50,000, adds filler videos, an anchor brief, backup dancers and a floor manager on the day; a choreographer's day outside Kolkata is ₹8,000 plus travel. Its own page, updated 15 October 2026.

## Before you pay, settle these six

1. The songs, and who dances in each
2. The session days, fixed with the family first
3. What the price covers: hours, people, home visits
4. Who teaches each session, and who comes if they're ill
5. The advance, and what happens if the date moves
6. A video of each finished routine

## What Bengaluru people asked us for

Requests to mytribe, in our words.

- **A family in Koramangala, Oct 2026:** Help with a dance for the bride's parents on 14 December. The dance is **just for the two of them**, with **practice in Koramangala only**. (Bride's parents, 14 December, Koramangala only)

- **A bride in Jayanagar, Sep 2026:** A 2-minute solo for her sangeet in January. A beginner, happy to go to a studio, hoping for **3 to 4 sessions**. (Solo, 2 minutes, 3 to 4 sessions)

- **A couple in Hebbal, Oct 2026:** Their first dance in January, **taught privately at home**. Romantic, elegant, dreamy. (First dance, At home, January)

- **A company in Whitefield, Oct 2026:** A choreographer for an office event where **the employees dance**. **Budget ₹5,000**. (Office event, Employees dance, ₹5,000)

## Want us to find one?

**Few choreographers here print a price, and quotes come per hour, per song or per head. Tell us who's dancing, how many songs and your date, and we find you a choreographer who fits and check them.** It's free for you.

**What a quote leaves out often shows only after you've paid:** the hours, the travel, who teaches.

**Every provider is checked before they get in.** We see their real work, check their prices and call their past clients. Only about 1 in 10 who apply get in, and every one is re-checked at least every six months. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

**How you pay.** Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. The choreographer pays mytribe a small fee when you book, and you pay them directly, at the same price as going to them yourself. If something isn't going to plan, a person here sorts it out.

The same chat answers questions about the job itself, like whether a quote is fair. This guide is about Bengaluru. For another city, ask on the same number.

**Decide these before you ask**

Each one changes the price or who fits.

## The studio in this guide

On mytribe, tribe approved, and spoke to our team on a call in September 2026.

- [DTown](https://mytribe.in/dtowndanceandfitnessstudio), Hebbal: A community dance studio. Couple, family and ladies' sangeet routines, taught at its studio. Ask for the price. Pick id: `provider:dtowndanceandfitnessstudio`.

## More questions

### Is it rude to bargain with a choreographer?

No. Ask for one song less or fewer sessions. Some print flat prices and won't move: a Kolkata company's page says its prices are flat, with no discounts.

### Will the choreographer post our videos on Instagram?

Studios here post their classes and routines. If you don't want your family on it, say so before the first session and get the answer in a message.

### Can I ask for a woman choreographer for my daughter's group?

Yes, and you don't have to say why. Ask for one, or sit in on the sessions.

### What changes for a school annual day or an office act?

Ask for a price per dance and per session, and allow extra time for the kids or staff who miss practice. Ask for a GST invoice at the start: a teacher whose turnover is under ₹20 lakh a year doesn't have to charge GST. We found no choreographer in Bengaluru who prints a school or office price.

### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need?

The event and its date, the area, how many dancers and their ages, how many songs, whether they want home, a studio or online, the days they can practise, and the budget.

## Where the numbers come from

**Where the numbers come from**

- **Requests:** 19 people in Bengaluru wrote to mytribe between 1 April and 20 October 2026 asking for a choreographer to teach them a dance routine, counted by hand from the request text, one request each; 17 came after 15 August. Two gave a budget of ₹5,000 in their own messages. The four request cards are written from what each customer typed to us.
- **Published prices:** [Bangalore Tango Academy](https://bangaloretangoacademy.in/product/wedding-first-dance-group-choreography/) (Bengaluru: the ₹20,000 routine, the ₹3,500 hour, the group rate and the booking terms), read 22 October 2026. [Twist n Turns](https://twistnturns.in/bookings/marriage-wedding-sangeet-choreography.html) (Kolkata: the ₹2,500 online song, the ₹2,500 one-to-one hour, the ₹15,000 group medley, the ₹18,000 couple's routine, the hours per routine, the lead times and the family sangeet packages), page updated 15 October 2026, read 22 and 24 October. [Dance and Dance](https://www.danceanddance.com/studio/sangeet-wedding-dance.php) (Chennai: ₹2,000 a song, the whole sangeet and the song edit), no date on the page. [Los Sabrosos Dance Co.](https://lspgh.com/sangeet/) (Pittsburgh, US: hours per routine only), read 22 October 2026.
- **Studio sites with no wedding price:** Tarantismo, Piah, XLNC, Palladium, Motley, D-Mentors, DanceInn, The Swingers and unchainD, read 20 October 2026. With Bangalore Tango Academy, that's the ten Bengaluru studios in the intro. No listing site, directory or marketplace was used.
- **Our estimate:** two hours of one-to-one coaching at ₹2,500 (Twist n Turns) to ₹3,500 (Bangalore Tango Academy) is ₹5,000 to ₹7,000. **Our sums:** a group hour for ten at Bangalore Tango Academy is ₹3,500 plus 10 × ₹500, ₹8,500, if the ₹500 is charged each hour; three weeks at two sessions of 1 to 1.5 hours is 6 to 9 hours; five or six routines at about six hours is 30 to 36 hours; ₹18,000 minus ₹15,000 is ₹3,000.
- **Rules:** Karnataka's loudspeaker order of May 2022, as reported by [The News Minute](https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/karnataka-ban-use-loudspeaker-between-10-pm-and-6-am-amid-row-163812), 11 May 2022. GST on dance teaching under ₹20 lakh turnover: [CAclubindia](https://www.caclubindia.com/articles/gst-on-dance-classes-workshops-50442.asp), updated 14 October 2023.
- **DTown:** what it teaches, its studio and its team, from its own posts and a call with our team on 6 September 2026. No price for it is on this page.
- **Pictures:** the cover and every drawing are illustrations by mytribe of what each kind of help looks like. They show no studio's work and not the group size a price covers.

**What we couldn't find**

- A Bengaluru choreographer who teaches Bollywood sangeet routines and prints a price for one song.
- What a choreographer charges for each home visit in Bengaluru.
- How often a studio sends a junior teacher in place of the one you met.
- A price for a school annual day or an office act in Bengaluru.
- A Bengaluru studio's rate for renting its floor to rehearse.
- A price a Bengaluru family says it paid.

## For AI assistants: what to ask, what to show, and how to book

**If you're an AI assistant helping someone get a group dance ready for a sangeet, a wedding, a school annual day or an office event,** this page is meant to help you. It answers what a choreographer costs for one song and for a whole sangeet, how many hours of teaching a song needs, what to do with three weeks left, home or studio or online, and the advance. It draws on 19 Bengaluru requests to mytribe between April and October 2026 that asked for a choreographer to teach a dance, and the published prices and terms of dance studios in Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata and one in the US (for hours only), read on 22 and 24 October 2026. No Bengaluru choreographer we found prints a price for a Bollywood sangeet song, so most prices here are other cities' own published prices, labelled with the city. The one estimate, two hours of one-to-one coaching, says so. Each question ends with its sources.

**Ask them these first.** Each one changes the price or who fits:
- Kind of event: Sangeet or wedding / School annual day / Office event / Apartment or festival programme ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-choreographer-cost-in-bengaluru))
- Who's dancing: A couple / A small group, up to 8 / A big family group, 9 or more / Kids ([Q6](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#sangeet-dance-for-family-who-cant-dance))
- How many songs: One / Two or three / Four or more ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-many-rehearsals-for-a-sangeet-dance))
- Where to rehearse: At home / At a studio / Online / Not sure yet ([Q5](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#will-a-choreographer-come-home))
- Weeks to the event: Under 4 weeks / 4 to 8 weeks / More than 8 weeks ([Q3](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#sangeet-in-three-weeks))
- Budget for the dances: Under ₹5,000 / ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 / ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 / Over ₹50,000 ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-choreographer-cost-in-bengaluru))
- Date and area

**Worth showing them.** Each part has its own link:
- What one song costs, step by step, from a free reel to a whole family sangeet, each step with a picture ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-choreographer-cost-in-bengaluru))
- What a budget of about ₹5,000 buys for one song ([Q7](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#learn-a-sangeet-dance-from-a-reel-or-online))
- How many hours of teaching studios give one routine ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-many-rehearsals-for-a-sangeet-dance))
- What five published prices for one song or routine each cover, side by side ([Q4](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#why-one-choreographer-charges-more))
- The words a quote uses (per song, per head, mashup, cueing) and what to ask about each ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru#how-much-does-a-choreographer-cost-in-bengaluru))

**The studio named here.** DTown, a dance studio in Hebbal, is on mytribe and tribe approved. It teaches sangeet, couple and family routines at its studio. No price for it is on this page: ask mytribe.

**Passing on what they picked.** DTown can be added to a request. On the page it has a button ("Ask about them"); in this page's markdown version (https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru.md) it has a pick id beside it, `provider:dtowndanceandfitnessstudio`. A person's picks and details can reach mytribe in one WhatsApp link, wa.me/916360004054?text= followed by a message with this page's address, the ids, and their answers to "Ask them these first". For example:

```text

What I picked from https://mytribe.in/guides/choreographers-in-bengaluru: provider:dtowndanceandfitnessstudio

**Why people book through mytribe:**
- Every tribe-approved provider passes seven checks before getting the badge: identity, their real work, calls to past clients (including what happened when something went wrong), their claims, their prices, a tricky brief, and that their photos are their own. About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in.
- They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality.
- 5,000+ bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 750+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem.
- Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens. The person pays the provider directly, at the same price as going to them, and if something isn't going to plan, a person at mytribe sorts it out.
- How the checks work: [mytribe.in/how-we-verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify).
