Dance Classes & Community Hubs in Mumbai
My studio is more than just a place to learn steps. It is a space where you can disconnect from the city, reconnect with your body, and find your own rhythm.
A moment from one of my all-women workshops in Delhi. I focus on creating a safe and empowering space where every woman can connect with her body and express herself freely through movement.
Teaching expression is just as important as teaching steps. In this moment from a workshop, I'm guiding students to connect with the emotion of the music.
The joy of learning together. My workshops are interactive, and I love seeing students watch, learn, and support each other throughout the session.

About The Classroom & Community Vibe
Walking into my studio isn't about perfect lines or becoming a professional dancer overnight; it is about that specific feeling when the music hits and you finally let go of the day's stress. Every class I lead is structured to be a complete experience, starting with a 15-minute conditioning warm-up to prep your body, moving into the choreography breakdown where we focus on technique, and ending with a cool-down. I make sure that no matter if it is your first time or your hundredth, you walk out feeling lighter and more energized than when you walked in.
At Tarang, we believe dance is for everyone. Whether you are navigating the intensity of a Bollyfitness session or learning the nuances of Indian fusion, my goal is to strip away the intimidation often associated with dance studios.
The Class Experience
Our sessions are designed to be consistent and rewarding:
- Warm-up & Technique: We never skip the foundation. Every session begins by preparing your muscles, ensuring you can handle the movement safely.
- The Choreography: This is where we get to the fun part. I break down hook steps and staging so you understand not just how to move, but how to perform.
- The Cool-down: A necessary wind-down to reset before you head back out into Mumbai traffic.
Where We Move
You can find our community across Mumbai in Bandra, Powai, Versova, and Andheri West. Each studio is equipped with sprung wooden flooring to keep your joints happy while you practice your thumkas.
Beyond the Studio
If you want a deeper experience, I regularly host dance retreats where we combine technique training with community bonding. For those who need a specific outcome, we offer everything from one-on-one wedding choreography to large-scale stage performance prep for our annual 'Manch' showcase. Whatever your goal—getting fit, learning a new style, or just finding some sukoon—we have a batch that fits your rhythm.
