Bharti Shivaji Dance School

We are located over at Asiad Village, right on Asiad Road at number 104. It is a nice enough space for what we do, though the room isn't huge. Basically, we teach dance here to whoever wants to learn and shows up on time. It isn't one of those high-pressure studios you see on television with professional lighting. We have kids coming in after their school hours and some adults who just want to move around a bit and stay active. The wooden floor gets a lot of wear and tear from all the feet, and we are always sweeping up dust or bits of stray fabric. Sometimes the music is a bit loud, but the neighbors in the village are mostly used to the sound of the drums by now. We spend most of our afternoons and evenings right here in this room. The walls have mirrors so everyone can see what their feet are doing, though half the time the younger kids are just laughing or looking at each other. It started out small many years ago and we just stayed that way. We don't have a big front desk or a secretary or any fancy computers. If you come by, you will probably just see us in the middle of a class or maybe taking a short break with some hot tea near the window. Asiad Village is a quiet area usually, which makes it easy to focus on the steps and the rhythm. We do various styles, mostly whatever we know well enough to pass on. It is a place to learn and keep the tradition going.
