Rowdy Baby - London - Dance video with Rakhee Visavadia

Rowdy Baby with Rakhee.

A re-creation of hit Tamil song Rowdy Baby. The original has over 300m views on YouTube !

After creating fire in the studio with our first collaboration, this one was a no brainer! It was my first time dancing to Tamil music and I have to say it was incredibly refreshing. Rakhee pushed me in the studio and she came up with an excellent choreographed piece. The timing of the movements were perfected in the space of a few days.

We also spent time learning the Tamil lyrics so we could lip-sync! Check out Rakhee’s YouTube channel and other amazing videos.

Aankh Marey - London - Dance video with Rakhee Visavadia

Reconnecting with Rakhee.

This is a fun dance re-creation of the Bollywood classic Aankh Marey from the hit movie Simmba.

When we cross paths with others in life, there is often meaning behind the moment which we may not be able to grasp at the time of interaction. I had met Rakhee at a dance gig in 2013 and now here we are collaborating for the first time since that encounter six years ago.

Despite the long gap, we instantly picked up where we left off and I had so much fun dancing with Rakhee. She pushed me as a dancer and I am thankful for those hours spent rehearsing in the studio. Collaboration is always inspiring when the passion for creating is shared.

Our love for Bollywood dance is evident in this for sure! Check out Rakhee’s channel here!

Ready To Move - Veena - Tiger Shroff - London - Dance Video

Dancing with Veena is always a whirlwind.

This time was no different. Having only just moved back to London, I was lucky enough to be included in this project for Prowl Anthem and Tiger Shroff.

Veena bought the crew together at Queen Mary University’s dance studio. We immediately gelled meaning the routine was choreographed and shot within the space of three hours! Insane considering we had not all met before or heard the song we were dancing to. The bar was already set high given Tiger Shroff’s reputation as an incredible dancer. Our work was recognised by the man himself who shared it on his social media.

Veena is pushing the boundaries of visual performance whilst somehow being a doctor at the same time. Check out her channel.

Bollywood on Hollywood Dance Classes – Hong Kong

Creating a Bollywood buzz in Hong Kong.

Every Thursday evening for almost 4 years, people would come to dance with me on Hollywood Road. Launching my classes was a grind and required patience. Slowly the magic of Bollywood took hold of the Soho area. After gaining favorable coverage from South China Morning Post, TimeOut and Sassy Hong Kong, things began to take off. This led to many other opportunities including corporate workshops, performances, wedding choreography and private lessons.

Every week I would teach a different routine with the focus being on fun over form. People from all backgrounds of Hong Kong’s multicultural expat scene would join. Locals would also come to shimmy with me. This is a testament to the boundless appeal of Bollywood and its ability to connect with people. I had so much fun being able to communicate this energy and am grateful for the support from my students.

My final class was a special surprise organised by my dear friend Aude who bought together my closest friends and students to dance with me for the last time. I can now say my face has made it onto a t-shirt thanks to the Bollywood on Hollywood tees made for the finale!

I miss my students dearly and hold them close to my heart.
