Not just fitness, it’s a language. Our first show, RaS Project, used belly dance to tell Ramayana women's stories - Sita, Surpanakha, all that. Nrityakosh is about exploring, learning, sharing dance as a friend. I’m still training myself, Kathak, ballet, always a student. This school is just sharing that joy, that friendship, with everyone. ### My work - **Our Classes & Styles**: We teach Middle Eastern classical dance, Indian Fusion belly dance, Bolly Funk, Jazz Fusion. Beginner to advanced, in-studio or online. - **Not Just Fitness**: We go deep - history, culture, technique. We want dancers who think, not just move. - **Storytelling & Productions**: We use embodied storytelling dance in shows like Safar-e-Raqs, Scheherazade's Web. Indian arts, emotions, all mixed in. - **Community & Collaboration**: Our belly dance performance lab is for everyone to learn, experiment, and grow together. Tribe vibes, always.
