Real Stories From Our Dance Tribe
At LVDS, we believe dance is for everyone. From busy professionals to absolute beginners, see how our students found their happy place, built confidence, and became part of our vibrant Bangalore dance family.
This is what our students say about us. Nanditha calls LVDS her "weekend therapy" and "happy place," where patient teachers helped her fall in love with Jive and Swing.

About this collection
You will notice something different here. It is not just about getting the steps right; it is about that moment when the music takes over and you forget you are at a dance studio. Our students often start feeling shy or unsure of their coordination, but within a few weeks, they are out on the floor during our social nights. Whether you are balancing a corporate career like our student Veena or fitting in some stress-busting moves after work like Dr. Sharon, you will find that the real magic is not just in the choreography—it is in the friends you make along the way.
Why do so many Bangaloreans call us their happy place? It comes down to a few practical things. First, our studios in Vasanthnagar, Indiranagar, and across the city are equipped with premium sprung wooden floors. This is not just for show; it protects your joints so you can dance longer and harder without that nagging soreness.
We also keep things simple with our no partner, no problem policy. We rotate partners during every class, which is exactly how you will meet new people and learn to lead or follow anyone, not just someone you know. It turns a solo visit into a social event.
Our classes cover a spectrum—Salsa, Bachata, Jive, Swing, and even Bollywood. If you are looking for a quick fix, our weekend bootcamps are high-intensity and drill-focused to get your muscle memory firing. For those wanting a deeper connection to the culture, our regular social nights like Havana Nights are where the real learning happens. It is a safe space to practice, make mistakes, and have a drink with fellow dancers.
Whether you are looking to prep for a Sangeet, find a genuine cardio alternative to the gym, or just want a community that welcomes you exactly as you are, we are here. Most of our students walk in as strangers and leave as part of the tribe. Come by for a trial session and feel the difference for yourself. Vamos!
Lourd Vijay's Dance Studio
I'm Lourd, and I started this studio back in 1998 because I believe dance should be for everyone, not just the experts. We are just a bunch of dance-obsessed people here to make sure you have as much fun as we do. No pressure, no judgment—just show up, move, and let the music do the rest.
