Students will be divided into four groups by age and placed in separate studios, each taught by a dedicated Moksha Arts teacher.

 

What’s Included:

  • 2026 Moksha Arts T-Shirt
  • Training in Bollywood dance foundations, performance skills, and confidence-building

Teachers:

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.
