My mother enrolled me in a dance school at a very young age. Initially, I attended classes just twice a week, but over time, my commitment grew to practicing six days a week. I didn’t even realize when I truly fell in love with dancing; it gradually became my top priority and passion.

The moment I realised I was spending six days a week in the studio without anyone asking me to was the moment I knew dance had become who I am, not just what I do. Latin dance gave me rhythm and discipline; Zumba gave me the joy of sharing that with others.

Every student I see light up during a class reminds me why I chose this path — and why I would choose it again without hesitation.

My journey began with learning Latin American dance styles, a vibrant and expressive genre that ignited my enthusiasm for movement and rhythm. Over the years, I had the privilege of attending numerous International Dance Festivals across India, where I showcased my skills, participated in competitive championships, and proudly secured several awards. These experiences not only honed my technique but also expanded my understanding of diverse dance cultures and styles.

Recognizing the evolving trends in the dance and fitness world, I pursued professional training in Zumba, eventually becoming a certified Zumba instructor. This fusion of Latin dance and fitness allows me to inspire others to embrace movement for joy and health.

Dancing is more than just a hobby for me; it is my first love and the essence of my life. It brings fulfillment, joy, and a sense of purpose that I cannot imagine living without. Dance connects me to a vibrant community, fuels my creativity, and continuously challenges me to grow both physically and artistically.

At Twist N Turns Dance Studio, we celebrate the transformative power of dance and encourage everyone to discover their own passion for movement. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced dancer, there’s a place for you to thrive and express yourself.

Join us and let dance become an integral part of your life, just as it has for me.
