Are you having trouble speaking up for yourself?
Are you struggling with negative thoughts?
Lacking self-confidence?

Try learning dance with me to become more confident in yourself!

My classes will be geared towards anyone who wants to start learning how to dance and build their self-confidence, but also for experienced dancers looking to challenge themselves in other styles of dances. I can teach Salsa, Bachata, Bollywood and Commercial dance styles to beginners and more intermediate dancers looking to learn something new or improve in specific areas.

My aim as a dance teacher will be to help you achieve your goals, and customize the classes according to your dance level, and preferences whilst helping you learn and polish your fundamentals in musicality, rhythm, balance, technique and performance in dance. Of course, most importantly, for all of you have to fun!

Bollywood dance is an expressive and fun style of dance that originated in India and is usually performed in Hindi films. It is popular worldwide, including a mix of the vibrant circle Garba dance, energetic and dynamic Bhangra dance as well as more traditional elegant and beautiful Bharatnatyam and Kathak forms of dances.

Commercial dance is a universal style of dance, performed in music videos, for concerts, musicals or films. It includes a mixture of various styles: jazz, hip-hop, locking, popping, street dance, jazz, contemporary and more.

Salsa and Bachata are both Latin style dances that are usually performed with a partner but also can be performed solo with solo moves called, "Shines." Salsa features flashy and energetic moves with lots of spins whilst Bachata (at least the sensual style) features more sensual, sexy moves with body isolation and head rolls. I will teach you how to distinguish both kinds of music by ear, the right technique, balance, body control and isolation, and of course performance.

I believe that dance can really open up your heart, and empower yourself and I want to share this sensational feeling with everyone! 💃💃💃💃💃💃

So please do come and join me 😊 We will have lots of fun!

Over
I am a confident self-taught dancer and choreographer, who is passionate and curious about many styles of dances.

I have been dancing since age 7, starting out as a classical bharatnatyam dancer which I was trained in for 9 years. However, then I branched out to bollywood dance, self-teaching myself it as I watched and grew fond of Bollywood films! I choreographed the routines and performed them in the talent shows in my school and at university dance showcases. I also started to listen to more commercial and k-pop music, self-teaching myself those dance styles as well and performing them in the talent shows at school too. At university, I started to choreograph and teach more bollywood, and commercial routines, and also trained in salsa, bachata and kizomba for three years, finding immense joy in partner dancing. I went to lots of events, and festivals throughout the UK and Japan, and also taught salsa and bachata at the salsa society for a year. I was also part of many dance teams, one of them performing in several inter-university competitions in the wild category for Bhangra, placing second!

I really love to teach and want to empower people to become confident through dance. If you would like to learn Bollywood dance or any kind of dance or improve as a dancer, I am here to help you become what you want to be :)

Based on the practices that I have learned in training to become a contemporary dancer, I will lead you through movement principles that are accessible to everyone. You will be guided through improvisation which will allow you to explore your own toolkit of movement and what dance means to you. The aim of this class is to find pleasure in movement and to let go of the fear of dancing in a particular way.

These classes are open to all who are seeking to rediscover their dancing self!

Goals

❏ Gain confidence with dancing.
❏ Learn about contemporary dance.

Feel free to send me a message with any inquiries and I'd be happy to answer you!

I hope to dance with you soon,

These are the classes I can offer:

1. Introduction to contemporary dance and improvisation
With this workshop introduction to contemporary dance, we invite people without dance experience to taste improvisation. Dancers use different techniques to create movements. One of them is improvisation: the process of spontaneous movements, shaped by exercises that work on the imagination and empathy. The desired result of the workshop is that the participants make a connection between emotions and movement.

2. Dance classes for seniors
The first part of the lesson is warming up on the chair. Inspiration drawn from gyrokinesis, a form of movement that increases spinal mobility. In combination with Pilates-based exercises for muscle activation, we prepare the body with an approach that is suitable for everyone.
In the second part, the exercises continue standing with a body scan. The exercises explore every part of the body using weight, dynamics and movement qualities. The end result is the involvement of the whole body playing with rhythms and patterns in space.
The class is designed for creativity, individuality and vitality maintenance.

3. “Connect-id flow” - Contemporary dance lessons
In the “Connect-id flow” class, the essence is to neutralize excess energy so that the dancer moves effortlessly through space. The organic sequence of movements that make up the exercises focuses on weight distribution and the movement of the spine. The accumulated kinetic energy guides our body forward in the exercises; it stimulates the continuation and relaxation of the body parts.
During the warm-up, which consists of floor work, information is shared about the correct use of the limbs. As well as the importance of grounding the body to achieve softness and continuity during the execution of the movements. Once we have prepared the body, the intensity of the class builds. The weight navigates the body through space and spirals introduce more complex movements. Ultimately, the goal of the lesson is to build strength, find a smooth flow of movement and a better knowledge of the energy distribution while dancing.
