Dance is my language, simple. After shifting houses or a long day, I find myself moving - that's how I talk to myself. Learned from cool places like Terence Lewis Institute, Attakalari, even Spain. But honestly, improvisation is my jam. Had a rough shoulder injury last year, right side went weak. Still, I keep moving, finding new ways. Giving up? Not happening. Dance is my life, even when I'm just thinking about it. ### My work - **Contemporary & Ballet Classes**: I teach kids and adults, group or 1-on-1, online or offline. All levels welcome. - **Movement Exploration**: We mix Ballet, body conditioning, flow acrobatics, floor work. Not just steps, but finding your own flow. - **Improvisation & Expression**: Movement is a language here. We use contemporary improvisation, contact improv, partner work for confidence. - **Open & Supportive Space**: Come as you are. Build strength, flexibility, and have fun. No perfection needed, just progress. ## Book To book Suraj, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Suraj.)
