Behind the Scenes: The Choreography Process
Take a peek at the energy, laughter, and hard work that go into every routine before the final performance.
A mini-vlog showing the 'mehnat' (hard work) behind the scenes. This is a typical day of practice, travel, and teamwork with my crew, ending with a Ganpati Bappa blessing.
A raw rehearsal video of my hip-hop choreography. This is where we clean the moves, perfect the timing, and build the energy before a final performance.
This is what happens when we're just goofing around during rehearsals. It's not always serious, and sometimes the most fun ideas come from just playing with the music.
About My Process: Rehearsals & BTS
Rehearsals are my happy place—sometimes chaotic, but definitely where the real magic happens. When you see the final video, it looks polished and perfect, but the real work is in the 'mehnat' (hard work). We spend hours cleaning moves, fixing transitions, and making sure the vibe is just right. Whether you are prepping for a sangeet or a music video, my process is all about building confidence so you can stop worrying about the steps and just enjoy the stage when the lights come on.
My rehearsals are where we turn a vision into a performance. You see the clean studio floors, but often we are working in tight spaces or local community halls across Mumbai, adapting to whatever room we have.
How We Work Together
I focus on 'drill and repetition.' For wedding groups, we start with simple, catchy hook steps to get everyone comfortable, especially if you have never danced before. If you are a beginner, do not worry about being perfect. We focus on 'stage presence'—how you carry yourself while moving.
The 'Cleanup' Phase
This is the most important part of any routine. After we learn the choreography, we break down every count to ensure we are in sync. If you are doing a group performance, I focus on formations so you look great from every angle for your photographers and videographers.
Keeping it Real
My crew and I believe that if we are not having fun, the audience will not either. I often send recorded breakdowns so you can practice on your own time between our in-person sessions. This saves us time and keeps the energy high when we finally meet. It is all about building a vibe, not just teaching steps.
