Raeshu Singh

Raeshu Singh has been dancing for 35 years and teaching Bollywood to both kids and adults for 15 years. Her students have competed in dance competitions as well as performed for weddings, special events and school functions. Raeshu's dance experience in ballet, hip hop, jazz, Indian classical and Bhangra are all brought together in her Bollywood dance lessons, along with her high energy choreography. Raeshu is also fluent in Hindi which allows her to teach her students the meaning of the songs that they are performing.

Vrinda Sahni

Hailing from India, a land where dance is revered as a form of worship, I introduce myself as Vrinda Sahni, a seasoned professional in the art of Kathak dance with nearly a decade teaching adults, and children from the age of 3 and up.

Dance, to me, is as essential as oxygen. Reflecting on my journey, I struggle to pinpoint the exact moment I discovered my passion for dance—it seems to have always been an inherent part of my being. Growing up, I realized that this affinity for dance runs deep in my bloodline, a legacy I inherited from my mother, whose own fervor for the art reignited at the age of 50.

Beyond Kathak, I possess proficiency in various dance forms including Bhangra, Giddha, lyrical, freestyle, and more. Moreover, I have honed my skills as a national-level sports player and a fitness trainer. In essence, dance serves as a conduit for my emotions when words fail me. It breathes life into my soul, enriching every facet of my existence.

Hi, I am Apurva Deota! Noticing music and dance in all elements of life like gushing waves, dancing leaves, intense rain, I grew up in a musical home where my parents were involved in Indian music to which I started dancing.

I have trained and performed Bharatanatyam for 13 years of my life, after which I also started enjoying bollywood dance forms. Taking parts in flash mobs, competitions and functions. Choreographed for competitions and weddings.
