This is my hip-hop world, from foundational drills to Namma Bengaluru community vibes. Here is how we train, battle, and grow together. ## Photos and videos - [Video: If your freestyle feels stuck, it might be your footwork. I believe in building from the ground up, starting with clean step placements and energetic bounces.

We start every session with 15 minutes of conditioning, including lunges and Russian footwork, before we even touch choreography. This specific strength training is the only way to get the clean, controlled footwork you see in these videos. I founded Bangalore Dance Studio because I wanted a space where we treat hip-hop as a culture, not just a random sequence of steps. Whether you are at our Kammanahalli or Bidrahalli studio, you won't find us just copying moves. We break everything down from the ground up. ### Why my training is different My focus is on control and foundations. I see many dancers with great energy but messy footwork. In my classes, we drill the basics like the Toe Tap, Heel Slide Glide, and Two-Step Bounce until they are second nature. If your technique is clean, your flow becomes natural. I bring my experience from the battle circuit—like the Indian Hip Hop Nation qualifiers—directly into our training sessions, teaching you how to perform under pressure. ### What to expect in class - **Conditioning:** We use lunges, single-leg balancing, and Russian footwork to build the power needed for fast foot combos. - **Choreography:** We work on routines set to everything from commercial tracks to Kannada hip-hop, focusing on sync, formation, and stage presence. - **Community:** I train with my crew, the Bangalore Hustlers, and I bring that same brother-to-brother, honest feedback loop to every batch. We learn by making mistakes, laughing, and fixing them together. Whether you are a total beginner who has never danced before or a dancer looking to sharpen your freestyle, you will fit in here. We keep the batches small, usually 10 to 15 students, so I can personally focus on your form. Come ready to sweat, learn, and add your own spice to the beat. ## About Hemanth I'm Hemanth, but most folks call me HE-Mantis. I started Bangalore Dance Studio because this city has insane energy, and I wanted a space where we learn by doing, failing, and growing as a crew.
