Dancing with your feet is one thing, but I dance with my heart. It’s not only my passion but also my way of life. It sets me free and I feel fully alive to each and every
moment of my life while I am dancing.
My journey into the world of dance began at the tender age of 3, when the rhythm sparked a lifelong passion. By age 6, I embarked on formal training in Bharatanatyam at the esteemed Kalamandalam, immersing myself deeply in this classical Indian dance form renowned for its intricate gestures and storytelling. Over the years, I expanded my horizons by exploring diverse styles such as Semi-classical, Folk dances, Rabindrik, and Indian contemporary dance, embracing the rich tapestry of India’s performing arts heritage.
My dance journey took a dynamic turn when I was introduced to Zumba, the globally celebrated dance-fitness program that blends energetic Latin and international music with easy-to-follow dance moves. Through friends, I joined TWIST N TURNS as a student and was immediately captivated by the infectious energy and community spirit of Zumba. Inspired by my mentor, Tapash Sir, I pursued and completed the Basic 1 training to become a Licensed Zumba Instructor. Today, I proudly lead Zumba classes at TNT, sharing the joy and fitness benefits of dance with others.
While I professionally work as a software engineer, my true passion lies in the art of dance, which offers me a unique form of expression beyond the logical world of coding. Dancing empowers me to connect with my inner self, boosting confidence and creativity. Itâs an art that makes me feel beautiful, vibrant, and alive, and allows me to communicate emotions that words sometimes cannot capture.
At Twist N Turns Dance Studio, we celebrate the fusion of tradition and contemporary styles, encouraging dancers of all levels to discover their own rhythm and express themselves freely. Whether itâs classical grace or the high-energy beats of Zumba, dance is a powerful tool for physical fitness, mental well-being, and artistic growth.
Joining a dance community like TNT means more than just learning stepsâitâs about building connections, embracing culture, and fostering a lifestyle centered around movement and joy. I invite you to explore various dance forms with us and unlock the transformative power of dance in your life.
