My Story
Started way back in 1998, we’re LVDS and honestly, we’re just a bunch of dance lovers. Our founder, Lourd Vijay, kicked off India’s first Latin dance school with nothing but some salsa steps and big dreams. We’ve had wild nights like Salsathon, seen shy folks turn into world-class dancers, and made friends for life. Sometimes our videos never see daylight, but hey, we’re real. If you want fitness, fun, or just a place to belong, come join our dance tribe.
