Garba Workshops: Master the Steps for Navratri
Navratri is not just a festival; it's a mood. Whether you are a beginner looking for basics or a pro mastering advanced Dakla spins, my workshops in Navi Mumbai and Thane will get you Navratri-ready.
Getting my students ready to twirl through all nine nights of Navratri. This is from a group session where we are practicing synchronized moves and formations for a powerful performance.
Here we are practicing a trending routine to 'Kanudo Zilva Hendyo'. My classes include both men and women, creating a fun and comfortable environment for everyone to learn and enjoy Garba.
Eat. Sleep. Garba. Repeat. That's our motto as Navratri gets closer. This video shows my students practicing a Kirtidan Gadhvi routine, building stamina and perfecting their group coordination.
The 'Khodiyaar Maa' fever is real in our classes. This is a glimpse of a regular batch practicing a devotional piece, focusing on expressive movements and traditional Garba steps.
Just a few more days until it's all about Garba. This is from one of my classes where we are getting into the festive spirit, practicing our moves and getting ready for the big nights.
With just a month to go for Navratri, the energy in my workshops is at its peak. Here, my students are learning a new routine with dandiya sticks, focusing on rhythm and partner coordination.
Finding the right Garba partner is key. In this session, we are working on partner spins and transitions, ensuring both dancers move as one. This is a great way to build chemistry on the dance floor.
The countdown is on. Here I am with a student, breaking down a routine to a classic Falguni Pathak song. My classes focus on both individual style and synchronized partner work.
Learning Garba is a journey, and every step counts. This is from a workshop where we focused on the 'Koi Kehjo Kanudane Jai' choreography, perfecting the spins and footwork.
It's always fun when friends who don't usually do Garba join in and match the vibe. This video shows how easy and enjoyable it can be to pick up the steps in my class, even for beginners.
About Garba Workshops: Learn With Us
In my studio sessions, we don’t just watch and repeat. We break down the 'Dakla' spins and 'Dodhiya' partner steps until they feel like second nature. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to perfect your form, you'll leave each class having mastered at least one new move that you can confidently show off on the ground.
Why Join My Garba Workshops?
Navratri is the highlight of the year, but we all know the pressure of hitting the dance floor when the music starts. My workshops are designed to remove that hesitation. I focus on breaking down complex rhythms into steps that anyone can pick up, so you can stop worrying about your footwork and start enjoying the music.
What We Cover
My modules are comprehensive, covering everything from the foundation to the performance flair:
- Classic Footwork: Mastery of 2 Taali, 3 Taali, Hudo, and Raas rhythms.
- Advanced Techniques: Intensive drills on high-energy Dakla spins, intricate footwork, and barrel turns.
- Partner Formations: Training on Dodhiya and group synchronization, so you can move confidently with your partner.
- Trending Fusion: I regularly update the curriculum with trending routines to popular songs like 'Kanudo' or 'Saibo re govadiyo'.
Class Logistics
I want to make sure the training fits into your life, not the other way around. My classes are held at professional air-conditioned studios in Seawoods, Vashi, Nerul, Belapur, and Thane West. We offer:
- Flexible Batches: Options for both weekday and weekend classes to suit busy schedules.
- Supportive Environment: We use wooden or vinyl flooring with mirrors to help you check your posture and form in real-time.
- Take-Home Content: At the end of the course, we do a group choreography video shoot. It’s a great memory, but it also gives you a visual reference to practice at home.
If you have never tried Garba before, don't worry. My batches are a mix of beginners and experienced dancers. We create a space where everyone is there to learn, laugh, and just enjoy the dance.

Hey, I’m Nidhi! I run these workshops because, for me, Garba is pure sukoon (peace). Whether we are at the studio in Vashi or Thane, my classes are all about creating a space where everyone—from total beginners to dance pros—can laugh, sweat, and absolutely own the dance floor.
