Our Dance Lab: A World of Styles
We do not just teach steps; we experiment with movement. Whether you want to master high-energy Hip Hop, refine your Jazz lines, or find your rhythm in Contemporary, our lab is where your unique groove comes to life.
This is what pure groove looks like. A high energy Hip Hop performance where the dancer's movements are so fluid, even her hair is part of the choreography. We focus on feeling the beat and dancing with your whole body.
We bring theatricality and storytelling to our performances. This is a moment from our Broadway choreography inspired by "Cell Block Tango," where we train dancers to not just move, but to act and embody a character.
We love creating visually stunning moments that tell a story. This contemporary dance piece, built on trust and balance, was choreographed for our "Social Dilemma" act, showing how we can tackle complex themes through movement.

About Our Dance Lab: A World of Styles
We view our studio as a laboratory rather than a conventional dance hall. What sets us apart is how we break down complex choreography into achievable, high-energy movements for every skill level. You will not find rigid, repetitive drills that ignore your individual body type. Instead, we focus on helping you connect with the music, understand stage presence, and ultimately, find a personal style that feels authentic to your own energy, whether you are in the studio or performing on a big stage.
At The Backyard Groovers, we believe that technique is only the foundation; the real magic happens when you start to experiment. Our 'Dance Lab' approach is designed to demystify different dance forms, including Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, and Bollywood.
Why a Dance Lab?
Most studios focus purely on rote learning. We treat our studio in Sushant Lok and Palam Vihar as a space for creative inquiry. We encourage students to ask 'why' a movement works, to explore the narrative behind the music, and to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Styles We Master
- Hip Hop & Street: We focus on foundational grooves, attitude, and the history behind the movement.
- Jazz & Broadway: This is where we bring in theatricality, character work, and strong lines, often using props like chairs to elevate the storytelling.
- Contemporary: We explore organic movement, partner work, and emotional expression, often training dancers to perform lifts and extensions with control.
From Studio to Stage
We do not believe dance belongs only behind closed doors. Our signature annual show, 'ABUNDANCE,' is where our philosophy comes to life. We take over 150 students—many of whom are first-timers—and put them through a professional production process. This includes everything from costume and lighting design to stagecraft. You aren't just learning a routine; you are learning how to command a stage, project your energy to an audience, and perform with confidence. Whether you are looking for a creative outlet or training for a professional path, our lab is designed to take you there.
