Creation Dance Academy

Creation Dance Academy is located on the 5th Main in the 2nd Stage of Shivaji Nagar. It’s a pretty easy place to find once you get into the neighborhood. The studio itself is just one large room with a floor that we spent a long time sanding down ourselves. We don't have a big fancy sign outside, just something small so people know they are in the right spot. On any given afternoon, you can hear the thumping of feet on the wood and someone calling out counts. We have a small area in the corner where people can leave their bags and shoes, though it usually ends up being a bit of a mess. The mirrors on the far wall are a bit old and have some spots on them, but they do the job. We aren't trying to be the most famous studio in the city or anything like that. We just wanted a place in Shivaji Nagar where local people could come and learn a few moves. Sometimes the power cuts out and we have to use battery lights, but the dancing doesn't stop. It gets a bit cramped when the parents come to pick up their kids, but everyone is used to it by now. It’s a simple, local place for anyone who wants to try dancing without any pressure. We just open the doors, sweep the floor, and let the music play for whoever shows up.
