Vibgyor The Dance Academy

Our dance academy is right on Tonk Road. If you’ve ever driven down that way in Jaipur, you know how busy it gets. We don't have a fancy name for the building or anything, we’re just another spot along the main stretch. Vibgyor The Dance Academy is basically a big open space with some mirrors and a floor that’s seen a lot of movement over the years. We spend our afternoons and evenings here. When the music starts, you can usually hear it from the street. It gets pretty hot during the Jaipur summers, and even with the fans going, everyone ends up sweating after the first twenty minutes. We’ve got students of all ages coming in. Some are really good and some are just here to move around a bit. We don't make a big deal out of things. We just clear the floor, put on the tracks, and get to it. The parents usually wait outside or near the entrance, chatting with each other while they wait for the kids to finish. It’s a simple life. We aren't trying to be some world-class stage performers; we just like teaching dance in our own little corner of Tonk Road. It’s loud, it’s tiring, but it’s what we do every single day. We've been here for a while and don't plan on moving anywhere else anytime soon. It just feels like home now.
