Brians Academy Of Dance

You can find us over at Shree Sai Krip in Chembur Ram Nagar. We are specifically in Flat No 9 of the A/1 block. It's a local spot and the building has that lived-in feel you find all over this part of Mumbai. The dance floor takes up most of the room we have. It’s not a massive studio like the ones you see on TV with huge mirrors everywhere, but it works for us and the students who come by every day. We spend a lot of time cleaning the floors because of all the foot traffic and the dust from the street. Sometimes the music might be a bit loud for the neighbors, but we try to keep it reasonable so no one complains. Ram Nagar is a busy area, so there is always noise from outside anyway. Parking is always a bit of a headache around here, so most people just walk or take an auto from the station. We have been at this address for a bit now and the walls have some scuffs from bags hitting them. It feels like a real place where people actually work, not some polished gym. We keep our schedules taped to the door with a bit of old tape. Sometimes we forget to update them on time when things change. The lighting is just standard bulbs. We just focus on the movement and the rhythm of the lessons. Being in a flat makes it feel a bit more personal and homey. We just make do with what we have.
