If you are looking for partners who value raw energy and technique in equal measure, you have found us. It has been a long road from our early competitive days to the Latin Dance India we run now. We have learned that technical precision is only half the battle. The other half is keeping it fun enough that you actually want to show up. We have performed everything from high-energy salsa medleys in Vietnam to intimate workshops right here in Bangalore. We aren't just here to show off steps. Whether you hire us for a stage performance or a wedding workshop, we bring the same philosophy: technique matters, but personality matters more. We teach everything from Jive to Kizomba, and we make sure the atmosphere stays relaxed, real, and ridiculous. If you have a specific vision for your event, we would love to hear it. Let's make something happen. ## About Sai and Kirthi We're Sai and Kirthi, the duo behind Latin Dance India. We don't believe in stuffy, formal performances; we believe in real energy and making sure everyone on the dance floor feels the vibe.
