About Indian Dance Classes & Workshops
Why I Dance
For me, dance means dil se (from the heart). It’s how I let out everything I feel. I get the most happiness when I see others light up after learning something new from me. That’s why I keep coming back to teaching.
What I Teach
- Garba & Dandiya Workshops:
I’m a true Gujju, so Garba is in my blood. Navratri is my season! I take big groups and teach high-energy, authentic moves. If you want to feel the real garba vibe in Bangalore, come join. Perfect for wedding squads, friends, or anyone wanting to catch that garba fever. - Bollywood & Semi-Classical:
I mix my Bharatnatyam background with Bollywood fusion dance classes. You’ll learn choreos that look filmy but have a little classical grace. Lots of expressions, some mudras, lots of fun. - Dance for Kids:
My kids’ sessions are playful, not strict. We do activities, games, and even prep for school shows or festivals. Seeing a shy kid rock the stage is next level joy.
Group Workshops & Corporate Sessions
I run Indian dance classes for kids, adults, and even companies. Garba workshops are a hit for team-building or adding a burst of energy to any event. I’m happy to fit the workshop to your group’s vibe - chill or full-on, up to you.
Let’s dance, Bangalore. No experience needed, just bring the right mood!

My Story
Hi, I’m Mansi. Dance is my everything – my prayer, my stress-buster, my voice. Trained in Bharatnatyam, I mix that grace into Bollywood and folk. Life's a juggle with my little Krishna, but I squeeze in dance whenever I can. My family’s my cheer squad – my husband and sweet mom-in-law always behind the camera. I’ve danced by Himachal rivers, for Ganpati at home, and, being a Gujju, Navratri Garba is a different level! That energy is what I live for.
