What happened in those first classes turned into something that could not be switched off. From the beginning he committed to the work: the technical drills, the self-training between sessions, the workshops with respected dancers and choreographers in cities across India. He absorbed it all — the street roots of Hip Hop, the cultural weight behind the movement, the discipline that separates dancers who feel the music from dancers who just respond to it. His instinct was never just to perform. It was to understand — and eventually, to teach. ## From Student to Instructor The decision to come back to Twist N Turns as an instructor was a natural one. Rahul had been shaped by this studio and this community, and teaching here was a way of continuing that relationship rather than walking away from it. What his background as a TNT student gives him that no other kind of experience can is this: he remembers what it felt like to stand in that room for the first time. He knows where the confusion lives — what clicks quickly and what takes weeks. He knows the moment when a student stops overthinking and starts moving, because he lived it himself. That empathy is the foundation of every class he teaches. ## On the Floor — Hip Hop and Open Style At his core, Rahul is a Hip Hop dancer — connected to the form's origins, its music, its history, and its attitude. He does not treat Hip Hop as a trend. He treats it as a practice. His choreography extends into open-style work: fluid, genre-blurring movement that draws from Hip Hop, popping, waacking, and other forms while maintaining its own raw and expressive character. The result is a vocabulary that is both technically grounded and emotionally live. In the studio, he pushes students to find that same combination — the technical foundation that makes movement clean, and the personal expression that makes it worth watching. ## Join a Batch - **Book a free trial:** [Free trial booking](https://twistnturns.in/free-trial.html) — pick *Hip Hop* and New Town as your studio, mention *Rahul* in the note. - **New Town AA1:** [New Town timetable](https://twistnturns.in/time-table/dance-and-zumba-classes-at-newtown-kolkata.html) — check current days and times. - **Related:** [Hip Hop classes in Kolkata](https://twistnturns.in/classes-forms/teens-adults/hip-hop-dance-classes-in-kolkata.html) · [All Twist N Turns studios](https://twistnturns.in/studios.html) ## Meet the Rest of the Team Rahul is one of **100+ faculty** teaching across **8 Twist N Turns studios** in Kolkata.
