About Rajasthani Folk Dance
My Journey With Rajasthani Dance
I see every dance as a story from my Rajasthan, where belief and movement get mixed up. For me, it’s not just a show - it’s my life, my roots. When I dance, I carry the stories of my ancestors, and every step means something.
How I Bring Rajasthan To Bangalore
- I direct full-on cultural productions with my group, not just the usual stuff. Think of "Padharo Mhare Des" - a big celebration with 16 artists, mixing contemporary with old-school folk.
- My heart beats for Kalbelia dance performance. I grew up with this soulful style - wild spins, real hand-woven costumes, all done the way Kalbelia families have always done.
- I offer Ghoomar dance workshop sessions for everyone, even total newbies. We don’t just learn steps; we dive into the music and let go, exploring the spiritual side of Ghoomar.
The Full Experience
My team, my 'Baisa's', bring every show to life. We dress in vibrant, traditional Rajasthani costumes - poshaks and bold jewelry - and the lighting sets the mood. You don’t just watch, you feel like you’re inside Rajasthan for a while.
Why I Do This
'nazrana mere nazariye ka .. pahunche ruh tak toh dua zaroor kijiega..' (If my gift reaches your soul, send a prayer my way). I’m just getting started.

My Story
I’m Pooja, and my life’s been a wild mix of Zumba, belly dance, and chasing my Rajasthani roots. Those Kalbeliya women—pure magic, yaar. Dreamt of dancing like them since I was a kid. When I did 'Padharo Mhare Des', with 16 artists and a standing ovation, it hit different. Art’s taught me patience, showing up even when it’s tough. Abhi toh journey shuru hui hai (Now, the journey has just begun).
My Work
Dance & Movement Training - I teach Rajasthani folk (Ghoomar, Kalbelia), Jazz, and movement coaching. Also, Pilates for pre and post-natal.
Cultural Dance Experience - My Ghoomar and Kalbelia sessions focus on authentic moves and real storytelling. It’s about sharing my culture.
Jazz Dance for Beginners - My jazz workshops are all about basics, techniques, and the true jazzy vibe. No fancy stuff, just pure dance.
Movement Community - Whether you vibe with Ghoomar, Kalbelia, or Jazz, I want you to feel part of a movement family. Vishvaas in yourself, always.
