Behind the Scenes with What Thumka by Mayank
Dance isn't just about the choreography. It's about the madness that happens before the music even starts. Welcome to my world, where rehearsals are basically parties and every member of my dance fam has a story.
My dance fam is everything. We already had the community, we were just missing our own dance floor. This collage celebrates the journey to opening my own studio.
Don't just remember your childhood, live it. A spontaneous dance in the rain with my little one. This is my philosophy, to find joy and dance in every moment.
This Diwali had a Halloween twist. A fun solo performance of 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' to celebrate the festive season in my own unique style. Acting is my first love after all.

About Just For Fun: Behind the Scenes
My studio in Sector 9, Faridabad, wasn't just built for classes; it is where the real magic happens. Before we get into any choreography, we spend time just vibing and getting comfortable, because when you are relaxed, the steps flow naturally. It is a no-judgement zone, and that is the secret sauce behind every reel you see on my feed.
Building a community isn't just about showing up for a class, sweating, and leaving. It is about the 'kaand' we do when the camera is off and the energy when it is on. When I opened my studio in Faridabad, the goal was simple: creating a space that feels less like a gym and more like a hangout spot.
Why the Vibe Matters
You will notice that I don't chase perfection in my classes. If you are stressed about the perfect arm angle, you aren't actually dancing. Whether it is a rainy day improvisation or our festive Diwali-Halloween mashup, the point is to let go. That is why I push for 'vibe matching' before we start the technical stuff. If we are on the same page, you pick up the Bollywood steps or Zumba routines faster anyway.
What Happens Here?
- Studio Sessions: This is our home base. It is where we film our reels and where the regulars come to blow off steam after work.
- Outdoor Moments: You will see us dancing in parks or terraces. If the monsoon hits or there is a festival, we don't stop. We make content.
- The Fam: My students are my family. If you look at our Holi or Diwali photos, you will see it is all about connection. We aren't just here to learn; we are here to celebrate.
If you have been watching from the sidelines and want to join the chaos, my classes are open for everyone. Whether you want to learn Sangeet choreography or just need some cardio, come through and let's make it happen.
