Description:
Bollywood Dance (Ages 5–12)
Our Bollywood program introduces young dancers to the vibrant and energetic world of Bollywood dance! Students ages 5–12 will be divided into four groups by age and placed in separate studios, each taught by a dedicated Moksha Arts teacher.
Note: While the 6:00 PM block is reserved for our younger dancers (under age 13), we are happy to accommodate dancers ages 13+ who prefer to take this class instead of the 8:00 PM session with their peers.
What’s Included:
- 2026 Moksha Arts T-Shirt
- Training in Bollywood dance foundations, performance skills, and confidence-building
- Semester-end dancer-only showcase on Thursday, December 11th @ 5pm (for Moksha Arts dancers only)
Communication:
All Moksha Arts communication happens via email. Please be sure to register with an email you check regularly.
Teachers:
Pooja Desai, Raashi Desai, Harmeet Kamboj, Ashlesha Shah, (Teacher substitute: Sonali Garg)
At Moksha Arts, we lovingly call our teachers “Didi,” which means older sister. Our Didis are more than instructors. They are friends, mentors, and role models who nurture each dancer with care, encouragement, and inspiration.
Interns (Our younger "Didi"):
These classes will also include student interns working alongside our teachers. Our interns are longtime Moksha Arts students who have grown within our program and now serve as positive role models. They provide extra hands-on support, helping our younger dancers feel guided, encouraged, and confident in class.
