It was never just about the medals, though I am proud to bring home Kizomba and Bachata championship titles to India. My classes at Lead & Follow India in Malviya Nagar are not just about counting beats. They are about understanding the 'why' behind the movement, ensuring you bring your own story to the dance floor. My journey, 'mujh se mere tak ka safar' (a journey from me to myself), is the foundation of everything I teach. Dancing isn't just a technical skill to be learned; it is a way to express who you are. ### My Teaching Approach I don't believe in one-size-fits-all routines. Whether you join my beginner classes or advanced performance batches, we focus on three core pillars: * **Connection:** Mastering the dance, whether Salsa, Bachata, or Kizomba, starts with how you connect with your partner and the music. We emphasize lead and follow techniques that go beyond basic steps. * **Musicality:** We do not just move to music; we listen to it. Understanding the pulse and rhythm of the track is what separates a dancer from someone just following steps. * **Community:** When you join my classes in Malviya Nagar, you aren't just a student. You become part of a community that celebrates growth, supports each other, and finds joy in the movement. ### Why Join My Classes? I bring my experience as a world-stage performer and event organizer into the studio. From choreographing weddings that need a Latin twist to intense technical training for aspiring professionals, I adapt my method to your goal. If you are ready to stop just moving and start feeling, come join the vibe. ## About Suraj Verma I'm Suraj. I don't just teach steps; I teach you how to listen to the music. Whether you are a total beginner looking for a new hobby or a dancer wanting to hit the stage, I am here to guide you.
