I have loved dancing right since standard V.  Being a Punjabi, it's in our blood! :D

 

I never missed a chance to participate in school events; my teachers asked me to choreograph for Teachers day, Maharashtra Day, Republic Day, and various events. 

 

One day, during an exam, I was called by a teacher & knowing the strict personality she was, I was shaking in nervousness. After finishing my exam, I went to her, and to my surprise, she asked me, "Will you choreograph for the school principal's birthday?"  Phewwwwwww!! A combination of fear and joy ran through my body. Haha. But this was one of my favorite days as it built more confidence to choreograph. Teachers contacted me to choreograph even after I graduated from my school.

​

This is when I thought, why shouldn't I do something that I love? Dancing. But what is dancing, I thought? Choreographing is something that would happen now and then. I wanted to do something on a regular basis. And then on researching, I came across something called Zumba. And there you go, I knew, this was what I wanted to do!

 

My initial months were not-so-good (check out my Vlog; '6 Years Zumbaversary' for the same) but then from having no contacts to conducting Zumba and dance classes 7 days a week from Hajiali to Wadala to Nepean Sea road to Sion, it's been quite a journey! And finally, after 2 years, I decided to take a certification in it.

 

Post Zumba certification, my sister (first cousin), Umeeksha gave me my first break. It was when at Vidyalankar she asked me to perform Zumba for Saturday pathshala (their event). And that is how I started getting events in colleges :D Thanks, sister! Yeh baat hamesha yaad rahegi!

 

And tadaaa! It's been 9 years since I started conducting workshops and classes and I'm nothing but truly grateful to each and everyone who supported me throughout my journey! Excited to experience what awaits next!
