Twenty-five years moving, creating, teaching - that’s me. Tarang Studio is my happy place, especially during 'Manch' season. Sangeet madness, studio chaos, and finding my sukoon (peace) in nature - all part of the ride. Forty and still grooving, I’m just here for the next dance, the next story, the next big smile. ### My work - **All Dance Services Under One Roof**: We choreograph sangeet, offer Bollywood beginners dance class, Indian fusion batches, and corporate wellness dance workshops. - **Jhakhas Sangeet Choreography**: We make sure your family sangeet is full of fun, drama, and moments you’ll actually remember. - **Bollywood & Fusion Classes for All**: Never danced before? Doesn’t matter. Join our batches, shake a leg, and let your inner diva loose. - **Manch Student Showcase**: Two months, lots of sweat, one epic performance. The spotlight is yours at Manch. - **Corporate Wellness Workshops**: Dance sessions for teams to de-stress, connect, and maybe rule the world a little.
