About Dance Workshops & Events
Why We Do What We Do
For us, dance workshops and events are more than just classes. It's about the energy in the room, the growth you feel, and the stories we create together. Our motto? Sab log fun kar rahe hain (Everyone is having fun). Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been dancing for years, you’ll find your spot here.
What’s Happening
- Our workshops are all about pushing limits and having a blast. We run regular sessions with our own faculty and bring in guest artists for those extra-special vibes.
- The Collab Series mixes two instructors in one class, so you get double the energy and a blend of styles.
- Guest artist dance sessions like the Trinity Series are packed with drills and explosive choreo.
- Style-specific jams let you dive deep into Breaking, Hip-Hop, Afro, or Waacking. Breaking is tough but worth it, Hip-Hop builds your foundation, Afro is pure joy, and Waacking is all about big energy.
Camps & Festivals
- Our Kids Summer Camp is for the chhote packets (little ones) - dance, arts, crafts, and loads of fun. They always end up making bada dhamaka (big impact).
- Afro dance camp, aka Afro Station, is a 3-day festival full of rhythm and community. People wait all year for this one.
Showcases & Battles
- Performance Night puts everyone on a pro stage, from Breaking batch to beginners.
- Spectra is our annual dance battle event and celebration, with group performances and 1v1 or 2v2 battles.
- The Reaction Show was our first theatrical production, mixing dance and story in a way that hit different.
This is where you learn, vibe, perform, and find your people. Kar lo yaar (Just do it, friend).

My Story
We call ourselves ARDS - Another Realm of Diverse Stories. Not just a dance school, more like a home. Started in Bangalore with one idea: give folks a stage to show what they're made of. Honestly, the best bits aren’t just the dance moves, it’s the chai after rehearsals, the weird inside jokes, the nervous laughs before Performance Night. Watching someone go from shaky steps to owning the stage with their gang? That’s why we’re here. Family vibes, always.
My Work
All Types of Dance Classes & Workshops - We teach street dance, Hip-Hop beginner dance batch, Afro, Locking, Breaking, Mode Femme, Open Style. Foundation and choreo batches.
For Everyone - Kids to Pros - Our street dance foundation classes are for all - total newbies, pros, and kids who want to make some noise.
Performance Night - Our yearly banger. Everyone gets to perform on stage, feel the rush, and be the main character.
Dance Studio Rental Bangalore - Studios for rent - shoot, rehearse, teach, or just vibe. Three sizes, pro sound, lighting, wooden floors.
