My Journey: 25 Years of Dance & Tarang Studio
From professional stages to building my own studio, here is the experience and philosophy behind every rhythm I teach.
This graphic provides a snapshot of my professional background. My extensive experience in performance and choreography for brands like Nike and Amul informs the quality and creativity of my corporate workshops.

About My Studio & Credentials
Having spent two and a half decades on stage and in the studio, my approach is not just about showing you steps. It is about understanding how to adapt movement for anyone, whether you are a corporate team looking to de-stress or an individual finding your rhythm. My credentials are not just accolades on a wall. They are the tools I use to break down complex choreography into something you can actually execute and enjoy, regardless of your starting level.
My dance journey started two and a half decades ago, and it has been a nonstop ride from the stage to the studio floor. I began with formal training, performing globally and at events like the Commonwealth Games. However, the true test of my craft has always been my ability to transfer that high-level performance knowledge to my students at Tarang Studio.
The Tarang Studio Philosophy
When I founded Tarang Studio, my goal was to create a space that felt like home. Whether we are prepping for 'Manch', my annual student showcase, or working on corporate wellness workshops, the focus remains on the feeling. I prioritize the balance between technical precision and the simple joy of movement. You do not need to be a trained dancer to step into my studio. You just need to bring your vibe and be ready to try something new.
Expertise and Approach
My background in diverse styles like Jazz, Contemporary, and Bollywood gives me the flexibility to design routines that fit the specific energy of your group. For corporate clients, this means I do not just teach dance. I facilitate sessions that mix breath work, stress-relief techniques, and movement to help your team find their 'sukoon'.
I treat every workshop as a narrative. We are not just repeating counts. We are composing a story, one that lets you break away from the 9-to-5 grind. If you are looking for choreography that is technically sound but feels personal and fun, that is exactly what I bring to the table.
