Aaj Nachale Academy Of Dance

You can find us over at Bhosarigoan in the Sai Sneha Industrial Estate. It might seem like a weird place for a dance school, being in an industrial area and all, but it works for us at Aaj Nachale Academy Of Dance. The unit is 6-647-10 and it’s basically a big open space where we can play music without bothering too many people, though the neighbors probably still hear the bass. We have put some mirrors up on the walls and the floor is kept as clean as possible for the dancers. It gets really hot in the afternoons, so we have fans going all the time. People come in after work or school, change into their comfortable clothes, and just start moving. There is always a mix of different songs playing, sometimes loud and sometimes a bit slower. It’s not a polished studio like you see on TV; it’s a working space where people sweat and trip over their own feet while they are learning. We have a small corner where people leave their bags and water bottles. The industrial estate has its own noise, like trucks moving, but once the music starts, we don’t notice it much. It is just a place for people in the area to come and dance for a bit. We don't have any big speeches about it, we just open the doors and start the music. It's about the movement and the practice more than anything.
