Ok - One word ---- A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!
Sometimes I've got to...run away...I've got to...get away...
Tainted Love!
Love the song and love the choreo we are learning in class right now. Only Shaira can train us to the point where we like contestants from SYTYCD!! We really looked amazing today with our clean, long lines...great job, class! And Shaira, thanks for being an amazing teacher! Thank you thank you thank you...

For all you people who are reading this blog and are not in the class, you should just stop by one day and watch us do our choreo, then you'll know what I'm talking about :)

After 2 years of gearing up for motherhood and then experiencing it for the first time, I needed to get back to dance. It was more for my daughter than myself - I was her role model..even if she didn't know it then :). My criteria for a class was something that would be close to my home and something that would not be boring. Well, I was in for a real surprise after I joined Shaira's class..! One class that is not boring? Yeah right. 

From 1 class a week, I went to 2. From 2 classes a week, I went to dancing almost every day, and performing at the PAN IIT Diwali Dhamaka 2009 show! I had never imagined I would do that..That is the magic of Shaira. She inspires and supports. Most importantly, she believes in her students and team. She always told me - if you want to do this, we'll make it happen. Having a full time job and a 1.5 year old did not leave me much time, but it happened. I was there, I felt beautiful, I danced, and my daughter loved the show! After the show, my daughter actually started moving her legs as opposed to just hands, when we "danced" at home.. The most amazing part was that she could actually recognize me in all the performances from a distance :)

What I love about DI is that there is something for everyone. If you just want to unwind, you can do that, though I doubt that after one class, you will not want to do more! If you want grow in different areas, you can do that too! There is so much to learn and so much scope to grow. Bollywood, Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop... every class is different. Bodies and souls start moving to the music in a beautiful way given the time..

DI is a family first and then a company, and for many, it's love at first sight :)

DI has been busy with the launch of its new session, lots of new classes, dance styles, faces and great energy. We are looking forward to an exciting session.

DI has been invited to perform at the Miss India Northern California 2009 beauty pageant on Saturday Nov 7th at 7pm at the India Community Center, Milpitas, CA. The DI dancers cannot wait to take the stage and give the audience a mind blowing show with a mix of bollywood, jazz and contemporary choreography's. Come see DI in action on stage!

Do we think of jazz squares or bus stops when we watch a Bollywood dance number? Most probably not. Dance identity, led by Shaira Bhan is using the fun, jumpy, energetic numbers from her much familiar Bollywood to shed light on the basics and fundamentals of jazz dance. Shaira has worked with Bollywood actors, danced and choreographed in many famous numbers, Dhoom, U me aur Hum, No smoking are just to name a few. Her dance fitness workout is still running on NDTV Goodtimes. However, there is more to her classes and Dance Identity than just those statistics. Dance Identity is about the dancers who are interested in learning the fundamentals and the technique while still enjoying the exhilirating Bollywood beats.
