Vidya S Dance Academy

We are located in Pimpri Colony, and Vidya S Dance Academy is where we spend most of our evenings. The space is mostly open floors because people need room to move around without hitting any furniture. It’s not a fancy studio with mirrors on every single inch of the wall, but it’s enough for what we do here. We usually start the day by sweeping the floor and checking the sound system to make sure the speakers are working. The music can get a bit loud during the sessions, but the neighbors in Pimpri Colony are mostly used to it by now. We see all kinds of people coming through the doors, some who have been coming for years and others who are just starting their first steps. There’s a small area where people leave their shoes and bags, which often gets a bit messy when a big group arrives at the same time in the evening. We don’t have a receptionist in a suit; usually, it’s just one of us sitting at a small table near the entrance. We keep a simple logbook of who comes in and when the different sessions are held. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We spend our time counting out steps and making sure the rhythm is right for everyone in the room. There isn't any fancy lighting, just the regular overhead ones that stay on until we lock up late at night and go home.
