Delhi Dance Academy

Amar Colony is always moving. If you walk into Lajpat Nagar IV, you’ll find us at E-1. Delhi Dance Academy is just a spot where people come to move their feet. We don’t have those fancy mirrors that cover every single inch of the wall. Some of them are a bit old, but they work fine. The floor is made of wood and it creaks a bit when everyone jumps at the same time. We like that sound. It means people are working hard. We started this because we loved to dance, not because we wanted to run a big corporation. Most days, the lobby is full of bags and shoes left in a hurry. It’s a bit of a mess, but it’s a good mess. Our neighbors in Amar Colony are used to the music by now. Sometimes we turn it up a bit too loud, but nobody complains much. People from all over Delhi come here. Some are good, some are just starting out and tripping over their own feet. That is the best part. We don’t judge how anyone looks. We just want to keep the rhythm going. It’s a bit hot in the summer, even with the fans on full blast, but no one seems to mind once the music starts. We keep a cooler of water in the corner that is always empty by noon.
