About Dance Performance & Competition Training
Why I Dance Like a Pataka
I believe dance is more than steps - it’s about bringing that full-on energy, that pataka vibe, to the stage. If you want to feel that rush, I get it. I’ve lived it. With my partner Sai, we’ve spent 15+ years chasing dreams, sweating it out, and sometimes freaking out before competitions. We were the first Indian pair to compete in China, and we’ve danced our way through international championships. All that experience? I pour it straight into my training.
How I Train You for the Spotlight
Whether you want to join a group dance performance training or go solo for medals, I’ve got you. I work with dancers from total newbies to pros, right here in Bangalore.
- Our student teams (like the All-Girls Salsa crew) are all about dance team bonding. We push through early mornings, late nights, and plenty of laughs. It’s not just about the moves - it’s about building a family.
- For those eyeing the competition circuit, I offer competitive dance coaching. We tackle advanced choreography sessions, nail technique, and work on stage presence development. I’ll be real - it’s tough, but you’ll come out stronger.
What Dance Means to Me
For me, performing is about letting go and feeling the music. I want you to own the stage, express yourself, and build confidence that sticks with you. It’s hard work, but the feeling when the lights hit? Pure magic.

My Story
Hi, I’m Kirthi! Dancing’s been my heartbeat for 15+ years, always with my partner-in-crime, Sai. We’ve stumbled and soared together, from being nervous at Sydney Salsa Congress to finding our groove. Off the dance floor, you’ll find me in the middle of shaadi ka season (wedding season), glamming up with my girls, or snuggling my furballs Bella and Maximus. Dance, family, and my dogs – that’s my happy mess.
