About Dance Workshops
The Workshop Vibe
I treat our workshops like a taste test - not the whole thali, but enough to know what you like. Dance doesn’t happen overnight, so don’t expect to walk out as a pro. What you get is a safe space to mess up, laugh, and try something new with zero judgment. Think of it as a lab, not a classroom.
What You Can Try
We run all sorts - festive dance workshops, beginner dance sessions, and some deep, soulful masterclasses.
- Want to learn Garba & Dandiya group classes for Navratri? I’ll hand you the dandiya sticks myself.
- Feel like trying Bhangra? We blast Punjabi tracks and just let loose.
- Interested in classical? Our Kathak intro is all about graceful basics, no pressure.
- Need a confidence boost? Our Heels dance workshop is where people find their groove (and sometimes, their sass).
- Sometimes we bring in guest artists for a dance masterclass experience - it’s less about steps, more about how you feel and express.
Free Tasters & Who Shows Up
We host Open Dance Classes for adults, totally free, so you can try a bunch of styles - Jazz, Hip Hop, Bollywood. No stress, no need for fancy shoes, just show up. If you’ve always wanted to dance but keep finding excuses, this is your shot. I promise, our crowd is a mix of newbies, regulars, and everyone in between.

My Story
Hey, we’re The Backyard Groovers – not your regular dance studio. Started up in Gurgaon by Sandeep Chugh, who’s danced with big Bollywood names and rocked over 1400 shows. For us, dance is about letting loose, messing up, and finding your groove. Our place is a full-on lab, not just for pros but for anyone wanting to try. Some of our teachers were once students here – it’s all about growing together. Two studios now, Palam Vihar and Gurgaon. Come vibe with us.
