See what makes our studio a second home. From safe technique training on sprung floors to the electric energy of our annual showcases, this is the TDA vibe in action.

This is what our social nights look like. It's not just about learning steps; it's about connecting with people and leaving with a smile. Everyone dances with everyone, and the energy is always real and easy.

We don't just teach steps, we teach safety. Here, our instructor Juhi demonstrates the correct landing technique for a floor move to prevent knee injuries, ensuring you can dance with confidence for years to come.

Our little Singhams completely owned the stage at our annual show, CRAZE. This performance from our Kids Junior Batch shows the confidence and pure joy we nurture in our youngest dancers.

People often ask about the difference between Salsa and Bachata. In this video, we break down the basics of both social dance styles, from the footwork and rhythm to the unique lead and follow techniques for each.

"Is your academy beginner friendly?" I get this question all the time, and the answer is a big YES. We focus on building your confidence and rhythm with relatable songs and simple steps in our basic batches.

We asked our students where they disappear after a long day at work. For the TDA fam, the dance floor is their therapy, their meditation, and their happy place to unwind and recharge.

Here is your sign to finally join a dance class. We're offering a free trial for you to experience the TDA vibe for yourself. Come see what our community is all about.

About Featured

We don't just teach choreography; we teach you how to move safely so you can keep dancing for years. Every batch starts with a proper warm-up to prep your joints, followed by technique drills on our sprung wooden floors. It is not about looking perfect for a reel, but about learning to land jumps correctly and finding your rhythm so you can actually enjoy the process.

Foundation Over Flash

Many people come to us asking if they can learn trending reels in one day. We are honest about this: we don't do that. Our philosophy is Foundation First. Whether you are joining our Bollywood dance classes or hip-hop sessions in Malad or Andheri, we focus on the basics of rhythm, posture, and technique. When you build a strong foundation, you stop worrying about steps and start feeling the music.

Why Our Students Stay

We are not just a dance studio; we are a community. Our students, from 4-year-olds in our weekend batches to adults, tell us the studio is their therapy after long workdays. This isn't a place to feel judged for missing a beat. We rotate partners in our Salsa and Bachata classes to ensure everyone gets comfortable on the social floor, and we keep our batches intimate so our instructors can give you the feedback you need.

Safety First

Dance is a high-impact activity, and we take your safety seriously. Our studio spaces in Malad and Andheri are equipped with sprung wooden floors that absorb shock, which is critical for protecting your knees and ankles during jumps or floor work. If you have ever been afraid of getting an injury during a routine, know that we prioritize proper alignment and safe landing mechanics in every single class.

Join the TDA Fam

If you have been looking for a sign to start, this is it. We welcome beginners of all ages to join us for a trial. We don't care if you have two left feet; we care that you want to move. Come for the classes, stay for the community, and let us help you find your groove.

I’m Tijo. I started TDA in 2016 because I wanted a space where technique didn't come at the cost of having fun. My team and I focus on building your foundation so you can actually enjoy dancing, not just copy steps from a screen.
