His work blends Bollywood expression with hip-hop precision and contemporary emotion, and has been watched by millions across social platforms. - Built a following of **2M+ subscribers on YouTube** through original routines and tutorials. - Runs **Dance Inc. (Melvin Louis Dance Company)** — a platform focused on dance education and talent development in India. - Known for a distinctive visual language — tight body isolations, cinematic framing, and emotive storytelling. This is Melvin's return to Kolkata with Twist N Turns, following earlier workshops in [2017](https://twistnturns.in/show-events/past-events/melvin-louis-workshop.html), [2018](https://twistnturns.in/show-events/past-events/melvin-louis-kolkata-tour-2018.html) and [February 2023](https://twistnturns.in/show-events/past-events/melvin-louis-dance-workshop-at-kolkata-26th-feb-2023.html).

Across the session Melvin breaks down one of his signature pieces step-by-step — teaching not just *what* comes next, but *why* a move sits where it does and how it reads to camera. Craft areas covered: - **Choreography logic** — how a piece is structured, where the hits land, and when to rest. - **Body isolations** — clean chest, shoulder and head work that makes Bollywood-contemporary fusion readable. - **Musicality** — listening past the beat to find the subtler cues in a track. - **Stage and camera presence** — performing to a live room vs. performing to a lens. - **Performance confidence** — committing fully to a piece even while you're still learning it. You'll leave with a fully learnt routine in Melvin's style — and the kind of stylistic exposure that condenses weeks of learning into a single afternoon. ![Melvin Louis breaking down choreography with workshop participants](https://twistnturns.in/images/2023/Melvin_Workshop_feb_2023/SDP_8759-1.jpg) --- ## Who Should Come This workshop is open to all dancers in Kolkata — regardless of skill level or studio affiliation.
