About Dance Classes & Workshops
Dancing has been my language for 25 years. I see the stage as my second home and love helping others find that spark and sukoon (peace) that comes with moving to music. My classes at Tarang are open to everyone, from total newbies to folks who’ve been dancing for years.
Classes & Workshops for Every Mood
- Choose from Bollywood dance training for adults, high-energy Bollyfitness sessions, or all-girls choreography batches if you want to channel your inner diva.
- Regular weekly classes for basics, advanced choreography (think mini musicals!), or personal training if you want one-on-one focus.
- Short and fun dance fitness classes in Mumbai for those who want to get fit without the boring gym vibe.
- Workshops and Indian fusion choreography workshops based on trending songs or unique styles like Belly Fusion, Jazz & Heels, or Garba (especially during Navratri).
Beyond Steps: What You'll Learn
I don’t just teach routines. My classes break down:
- Technique and musicality
- Expression and storytelling
- Performance confidence (no more stage fright!)
Spotlight Moments
Every year, my students shine at our Manch showcase—a big, pro-level stage event after a 2-month prep. If you want a quick taste or a break from the city, join our weekend dance retreat Goa for workshops and fun.

My Story
Started with folk, fell for the stage, and never left. 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.
