Beyond the professional flooring and mirrored walls, I prioritized natural light and energy flow. I placed the Nataraja idol at the center because I wanted this to feel like a sanctuary, not just a room for practice. Whether you are here for a high-intensity Bollywood session or a grounding yoga class, you are stepping into an environment designed to help you let go and just move. ### Built for Movement Located within the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in Yelahanka New Town, R1 is built to support dance and movement. We have professional, air-conditioned floors that are gentle on joints—crucial if you are training for long hours or practicing complex hip-hop footwork. ### The Vibe The space is designed with large windows that pull in natural light, helping you stay connected to the outside world while focusing inwards. I have balanced this with professional track lighting so that when you are perfecting your routine, every angle is clear in the mirrors. It is not just about the technicals, though; from the daily puja at the Nataraja idol to the morning sessions, I keep the environment grounded. ### More Than a Studio This space changes its energy depending on the class—high-voltage during choreography workshops and calm during yoga. We built this as a hub for the R1Family, a place where beginners feel comfortable and experienced dancers have the room to grow. Being in Yelahanka makes us accessible, whether you are driving down for a weekend masterclass or coming in for our weekday batches. You are not just booking a session; you are stepping into a professional, distraction-free environment that is ready for you to create. ## About Rajasmita Kar I am Rajasmita, and R1 is more than just a studio to me—it is the home I built to manifest my passion. I am an Odia girl who believes that the right environment changes everything, so I designed this space to keep your energy high and your spirit grounded. Come by, let us dance.
