The Dance Factory

We are located inside the Bhakti Wellness Center over in Andheri West, right near the Spring area. It’s a bit of a maze getting here sometimes with the Mumbai traffic, but once you’re inside, it’s a lot calmer than the street. The name might sound like we’re a big industrial operation, but we’re actually just a small team of people who like to teach. The studio space we use is part of the larger center, so we share the hallways with people going to yoga or therapy. It makes for an interesting mix of people in the lobby. We spend our days mostly coordinating schedules and making sure the sound system isn't acting up again. The floors are good for dancing, though they take a lot of upkeep to keep them from getting too dusty. We get a lot of students who are trying to make it in the industry, and then we get people who just want something to do on a Saturday. It’s a wide range. We don’t really do the whole corporate thing with fancy brochures or polished speeches. Most of the time, we’re just in our workout gear, trying to figure out the next routine or helping someone who can't quite get the count right. It’s a busy life, and the space can feel a bit cramped when a big class is going on, but it works for us. We just focus on the work and let the music do the rest.
