Traditional Indian Folk & Festive Choreography
From the high-energy twirls of Garba to the devotional grace of Pujo, I love bringing classic Indian rhythms to life. Let’s make your event feel like a total celebration!
The pure joy of Garba. A candid shot capturing the twirl of my multi-colored lehenga, a key element of Navratri performances. The vibrant colors and flowing fabric add to the visual spectacle of the dance.

About Indian Folk & Festive Choreography
I don't just teach steps. In my Goregaon studio, I’ve created a full setup with traditional backdrops, earthen pots, and drapes specifically for these shoots. It helps me focus on the tiny details—like how your ghagra twirls or the rhythm of your dhunuchi dance—that make the final performance look authentic and professional.
Folk dance is all about the energy, the stories, and the connection to our roots. Whether it’s Navratri Garba, a Durga Puja performance, or a traditional wedding event, I treat every routine as a piece of art.
How I Work
When I design a folk routine, I look at the whole picture. It’s not just the dance; it’s the costume styling, the props, and the expressions. I collaborate with amazing artists like Jalsa with Jin Collection for authentic ethnic wear and my go-to makeup artist, Sonal Joshi, to ensure the look matches the vibe perfectly.
Why Book With Me?
- Studio Space: My studio in Goregaon West is equipped with sets that feel like a proper stage, so you get practice time in an environment that mimics the real event.
- Authentic Styling: From managing prop usage like dhunuchi or dandiya sticks to perfecting that 'Gori Radha' grace, I handle the styling so you can focus on the performance.
- Versatility: I work across Mumbai and all over India. If you need a high-energy group Garba act for a wedding or a lyrical semi-classical piece for a festive function, we will make it happen.
Dance is supposed to be fun, and my goal is to make sure you have the best time while learning. Let’s create some magic together! 🫰✨
