About Garba & Navratri Workshops
When I teach Garba, we go beyond just the steps. We focus on the 'Bhethak' (seating) and 'Dodhiyu' (fast footwork) techniques that make the dance look effortless and graceful. Whether it is a corporate group or a wedding squad, I ensure the choreography feels traditional yet fun, so you are comfortable on the dance floor during the actual celebrations.
I believe Garba is more than just a dance—it is a way to connect, celebrate, and let go. In my workshops, I break down the traditional Gujarati folk forms into movements that anyone can learn, regardless of previous dance experience.
My 2-day weekend intensive covers the essentials that you will actually use at a Navratri event: 2-Taali, 3-Taali, and Raas formations. We also dive into specific patterns like 'Hudo' and 'Popat' to give you the confidence to lead in a circle.
What you can expect:
- Traditional Roots: I teach with authentic cultural context, explaining the significance of mudras and steps.
- Corporate & Wedding Special: I frequently host on-site workshops for corporate teams in Bellandur teams in the Bellandur and Sarjapur areas. If you are a wedding squad, I can customize the routine to fit your specific song choice and energy level.
- Comfort & Style: I will even guide you on how to manage heavy Chaniya Cholis so you can twirl with ease.
My approach is simple: I provide the playlist, the breakdown of steps, and the encouragement. You just need to bring your enthusiasm. If you are ready to learn, let’s get you dancing before the season starts.

Hi, I'm Mansi! Dance is my prayer and my stress-buster. Being a Gujju, Navratri is my absolute favourite time, and I love passing on that pure Garba energy to everyone I teach—from corporate teams to wedding squads.
