Yogesh’s Story

Yogesh Hari’s dance journey has been built on a simple belief: technique matters, but it’s never the whole story. Across Hip-Hop, Freestyle and Open Style, he’s chased not just clean steps but the confidence, musicality and individuality that make a dancer’s movement recognisably their own.

That range shows in the styles he moves between — Hip Hop and Bollywood for structure and performance energy, House, Locking and Waacking for the vocabulary that makes Open Style feel genuinely open. It’s a dancer’s toolkit built for students who want more than one lane to grow in.

On the Floor — Teaching at Twist N Turns

At the Ballygunge studio, Yogesh runs batches for two very different rooms — a Basic-level kids’ Hip Hop class for 9–11 year-olds, and a Beginners’ Open Style batch for adults — and treats both with the same core philosophy: dance is not just about learning steps, but about building confidence, musicality, body control and individuality.

For his younger students, that means keeping the room positive and energetic, breaking Hip Hop fundamentals into pieces that build coordination and confidence without ever feeling like drilling. For the adults in his Open Style batch, it means creating space for beginners to find their own movement vocabulary rather than just copying a routine — the class is a place to discover a personal style, not just execute someone else’s.

Specialisations

  • Hip Hop — foundation, groove and performance-ready choreography
  • Open Style — freestyle-driven movement drawing on House, Locking and Waacking
  • Bollywood — film-style choreography and performance energy
  • House, Locking & Waacking — street-style vocabulary that feeds into his Open Style teaching
