The event is dedicated to all the busy postgrad or undergrad students who might feel uncomfortable dancing to their fav jam. Dance is a therapeutic art form, that helps in relieving built-up stress and improves hand-eye coordination, reflex actions and sensorimotor controls that may degenerate with age. 

A lot of people consider Dancing to be a great sport, and I believe that free dance lessons should be a birth right for everyone and hence ANY-BODY-CAN-DANCE.

I have experience of training dancing in Bharatnatyam/Bollywood and hip-hop freestyle.  I have choreographed at various dance events for more than 10 years. 

I do understand that not everyone is trained, but at the same time we can use this event to learn a new choreography, socialise and have some fun.

This event is suitable for all students.
