Classes & workshops

Teaching

Dance has been my language for as long as I can remember, and teaching is how I get to share it. I work across Odissi, semi-classical choreography, Bollywood and garba, with students of all ages.

Classes and workshops are currently offered in Southern California.

Classes are built the way I build choreography: technique first, then the story the movement is carrying. Beginners are welcome — the form asks for attention, not prior training.
