Our Journey in the Media
Years of sweat, travel, and chasing rhythms have led to some amazing milestones. Here is a look back at our journey as we took Indian Latin dance to the world stage.
This article covers our experience as the first Indian pair to compete in China at the 2007 CCTV International Salsa Championships. It talks about our "claim to fame and victory" and the unique Indian flavor we brought to the competition.
"Hotstepping the Great Wall" was one of our most unforgettable experiences. This article details our adventure of dancing salsa on the Great Wall of China during the International Salsa Congress.
An early feature from the Bangalore Times titled "Do the salsa." This article explores the growing salsa scene in the city and features us as key instructors helping to build the community.
This news clipping announces our journey to the World Salsa Championship in Orlando. It highlights the tough qualifying rounds and our first-place win at the Singapore International Festival that got us there.
This article highlights our international presence, mentioning how we have represented India in competitions and festivals across the globe, including Paris, Greece, Sydney, and Hong Kong.
A feature from the World Salsa Championships in Florida. This clipping shows us mid-performance and talks about how salsa's worldwide appeal was growing, with us representing India on that global stage.
About In The Press: Our Story
See these clippings? They aren't just old news. They represent the exact same training discipline and technical grit we bring to our studio in Koramangala today. When you train with us, you are learning from the same foundation that got us to the World Salsa Championships.
From The Great Wall to Bangalore
Looking back at these features, I am reminded that dance is a journey, not a destination. Whether it was performing on the Great Wall of China or competing in Orlando, every headline was earned through hours of early morning drills and endless repetitions.
Why This Matters for You
We do not share these for the glory. We share them because they prove that our method works. When I teach Salsa in Bangalore, I am not just teaching steps. I am passing on the discipline required to represent India on a global stage. Whether you join our 3-month performance batches or sign up for private competition coaching, you receive the same technical scrutiny we applied to our own international routines.
Our Training Focus
We keep our classes focused on practical growth, not just theory:
- Technique First: We drill lines, extensions, and posture until they are second nature.
- Stage Presence: You learn to own the floor, whether it's a local social or a competition circuit.
- Community: Just like our early days, we train as a team. Our All-Girls Salsa crew and group batches are built on that same sense of sisterhood and shared goals.
If you are ready to stop watching and start dancing, our doors in Koramangala and Indiranagar are open. Let’s get to work.
