Taal Dance Academy

Taal Dance Academy is right in the middle of Faridabad, over in NIT 5. Specifically, we are at 16 K, which is a spot that many people in the area are familiar with. It’s a lively part of town, so there is always some noise coming from the street, but once the music starts playing inside, you don’t really notice it anymore. The studio space has wooden floors that we try to keep clean, though with so many people coming in and out, it’s a bit of a constant job. We’ve got some big mirrors on the walls so everyone can see what they are doing. It’s not a luxury studio with air conditioning in every corner, but we have enough fans to keep the air moving while people are practicing their steps. In the evenings, the place gets quite crowded with students of all ages. You can hear the sounds of feet hitting the floor from the sidewalk outside. We spend a lot of time just sweeping up and getting the mats ready for the next group. It’s a lot of physical work keeping a place like this running, but it’s what we do every day. The neighborhood has plenty of little shops nearby where parents wait for their kids to finish up. We’ve been at this 16 K location for a bit and it feels like home now.
