Join the LVDS Dance Tribe: Your New Community in Bangalore
Find your happy place at LVDS. We are more than a studio, we are a family where dance is about laughter, connection, and making friends for life.
Tip 101: How to ask for a dance. This short tutorial demonstrates the polite and respectful way to invite someone to dance, reinforcing our community values of consent and mutual respect.
Our community guidelines start with clarity. We believe in establishing rules that promote respect, inclusivity, and consent on and off the dance floor.
We encourage a culture of consent. Our guidelines teach dancers to always ask before leading complex moves and to respect a "no" without judgment.
We have zero tolerance for harassment. We ensure clear procedures for reporting and addressing any issues to maintain a safe space for all.
We promote inclusive and safe partnering. Our classes and socials have gender-neutral roles, allowing dancers to choose if they want to lead, follow, or switch.
Our instructors and staff are trained in safe practices. They are equipped to handle conflicts, set boundaries, and intervene when necessary to protect our community.
Creating a safe space is crucial for fostering inclusivity, confidence, and mutual respect. Here are some of the action points we follow.
About this collection
You do not need a partner or any experience to fit in here. We have a, no judgment, policy on the floor, meaning whether you are a complete beginner or just want to meet like-minded people, you are welcome to jump right into our socials or beginner batches.
At LVDS, we believe finding your tribe is the best part of the journey. When you step into our studios in Indiranagar or Vasanthnagar, you are not just learning steps, you are joining a culture built on mutual respect and consent.
Why You Will Belong Here
We have built this community on a foundation of safety. We have explicit guidelines that every member follows:
- Inclusive Partnering: You choose to lead, follow, or switch. There are no assumptions, only your personal preference.
- Respectful Culture: We encourage asking before dips or close embraces, and we normalize saying, 'no' or 'not right now' without pressure.
- Supportive Environment: Whether you are an HR professional like Nanditha who calls this her 'weekend therapy' or a busy doctor like Dr. Sharon who uses our classes as a stress buster, you will find people here who genuinely want to see you succeed.
From our Friday Havana Nights at top city clubs to our annual 'Gala Del Sol' beach getaways, we focus on creating moments that go beyond the dance floor. Our instructors, including Lourd Vijay and his team, are there to guide you, but the real magic happens when you meet fellow dancers who quickly become lifelong friends. If you have been looking for a place to belong, dance, and simply be yourself, you have found it. Vamos!
Lourd Vijay's Dance Studio
We are LVDS, and honestly, we are just a bunch of dance lovers who started back in 1998. We do not care about 'killer moves' as much as we care about the smiles, the energy, and the community we have built. Come exactly as you are, and we will take care of the rest.
