Master Garba: From Basic Moves to Authentic Dakla
Garba is more than just a dance; it’s a heartbeat. Join me to learn 10+ styles, master the rhythm, and get your Navratri squad ready with moves that are pure energy.
This is the feeling of 'Shakti'. In my classes, especially when we dance to songs like this, we channel that divine feminine energy. It's a powerful experience that goes beyond just steps.
People always ask what's the big deal about Garba. My answer is always the same: you have to do it to feel it. This is the energy, the community, the joy. This is what it's all about.
The love for Dakla is real! This is one of the most requested styles in my workshops. Here's a look at my students absolutely nailing the power and precision of a group Dakla performance.
A perfect Garba duet is all about connection. This is a glimpse into the kind of couple's Garba choreography I teach, focusing on chemistry and coordinated moves that look amazing on the dance floor.
My OG gang! This is what my class is all about: finding your squad and creating amazing memories together. Here we are, dancing our hearts out to a fun hookstep.
The Navratri countdown is on! Here's a fun Garba segment from one of my classes. This is the kind of energy you can expect as we prep for the big festival.
Forget trying to explain the feeling, just join the circle. This is what happens in my class when the beat drops. Pure, unfiltered joy and Garba fun.
Throwback to the authentic 'mandli' Garba style. Amidst all the hype, I love bringing back the traditional pair Garba that we used to do back in the day. It’s all about the connection.
This was an epic moment. Over 200 people performing Dakla together at our annual event. The energy was absolutely electric. This is the community we've built.

About The Ultimate Garba Experience
People often think they have two left feet, but my classes prove that’s just a myth. Whether you’re looking to master the intensity of a group Dakla or just want to get the basics of Dodhiyu right, I break it all down into simple, learnable chunks. We focus on the flow first, and the steps follow naturally.
Garba isn't just about moving in a circle; it's about the connection with the beat and the people around you. In this cluster, I've shared moments from my workshops—from the high-intensity Dakla that gets everyone’s heart racing to the traditional pair Garba that takes us back to the roots.
My training approach is simple: I treat everyone like a 'non-dancer' until they realize they've got the rhythm. We cover over 10 distinct styles, including Dodhiyu, Popatiyu, and the powerful Dakla. During our 2-month Navratri bootcamp, we drill 70+ varieties of steps so you aren't just following the crowd—you're leading the circle.
Whether you're in Ahmedabad for my Navrangpura studio classes or joining my virtual sessions from home, the goal is the same: to find your mazaa (fun). We keep the batches high-energy, and yes, we always end with a recording of the routine so you can practice those moves until they’re muscle memory. If you're stressed about your coordination, don't be. My team and I are here to correct posture and help you find your personal flow.

I'm Srushti, and for me, Garba is a vibe I've lived since I was a kid. I've grown up with Falguni Pathak on loop, and my goal is to pass that same energy to you in a way that feels easy and fun. If you have a vision for a performance or just want to own the dance floor, my answer is always—'Ho jaega!'
