See the story behind our studio and why we believe dance is for everybody. ## Photos and videos - [Video: What is CRAZE? It's not about me being crazy. It's about the student who works a 9-to-9 job and still comes to dance. It's about our 60-plus-year-old moms wanting to perform on stage. That is CRAZE.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/35d4acb0-ff0c-4946-a554-05c5ec3fcba5) - [Video: How did TDA start? It began with a passion for teaching kids, which grew into teaching adults.

This is something I talk about in class all the time. It's about dancing with confidence, not hesitation.

We’re here for the long haul. Whether you're 4 or 60, our focus is always on building a strong foundation first, so you can walk into any room or on any stage with total confidence. We started TDA in 2016 with a single batch in Andheri, just chasing a simple love for dance. Over the last decade, it has turned into something much bigger than just a studio. We’ve seen shy students turn into stage performers and office-goers find their therapy in our evening classes. Why do we focus so much on the basics? Because we’ve seen too many people waste money on flashy workshops where they just copy steps without understanding the rhythm. At TDA, we break down every move. We teach you how to breathe, how to hold your posture, and how to perform with heart. Our philosophy is simple: Foundation over flash. If you have the basics, you have the freedom to dance anywhere. When you join us, you’re not just signing up for a class, you’re becoming part of the TDA family. We mess up, we laugh, we support each other, and we dance. Whether you are prepping for a sangeet performance or just want to shake off the workday stress, we are here to help you move with soul. ## About Tijo's Dance Academy I'm Tijo, and alongside Juhi, I’ve spent over a decade proving that dance is for everyone. We don’t run a studio; we run a second home where we swap the 9-to-5 stress for rhythm and a whole lot of fun.
