About Creative Direction for Shows & Performances
My Approach: More Than Just Steps
For me, creative direction is about telling your story on stage, not just filling space with dance moves. After 20+ years, I know every show is a chance to spark something real - from a grand wedding sangeet to a soulful Sufi performance. I pour my heart into every project, and honestly, it feels like a spiritual journey each time.
What I Bring to the Table
- I start with your vision - we shape the main theme and vibe together.
- All the choreography and performer sequences are designed to fit the story.
- I handle costumes, lights, and even the tiniest details that give a show its energy.
- Music edits? That's my job too - the right sound at the right moment.
Whether it's a wedding dance production, a fashion show stage direction, or something rooted in classical tradition, I make sure every piece fits the big picture.
Shows, Events, and My Team
I've directed everything from huge sangeets at Jio to intimate classical debuts. No matter the deadline, I work with my tight-knit team of dancers and artists to pull it off. It’s never just me - #TeamJavedSanadi makes the magic happen.
Why I Do This
Creating these moments is my biggest blessing. Aapka vision hai toh hum aag laga denge stage pe (if you have a vision, we’ll set the stage on fire). Shukarguzar Tera, Rab mere (forever grateful).

My Story
Hey, I’m Javed. Choreographer, director, and a guy who just loves living it up with my family—my parents, my cats (my babies), and all my close ones. My happy places? Chilling at the beach, escaping to the mountains, or just having pool parties with my fam jam. I’m all about creating vibes, feeling grateful, and staying a kid at heart. Peace is my superpower, seriously.
My Work
All Types of Choreography - I do wedding sangeet choreography, Bollywood masala choreography, film sets, musicals, stage shows, and even fashion and corporate events.
Directing the Whole Show - Not just dance steps, I handle lights, music edits, and routines—basically, I direct the whole performance.
20+ Years Dancing - Been at this since Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa days—over 15 years, and the passion’s still real.
Teamwork Always - My team is my backbone. Performers, pros or beginners, everyone’s heart goes into the show.
For Everyone - Doesn’t matter if you’re a first-timer or a pro—semi-classical dance routines or knee spins, we make it work.
Folk to Fusion - Love mixing styles—Garba choreography, soulful Sufi, classical, Mujra, Rumba, and more. Dance speaks every language.
