Rhythm India Strives To

  • Create public awareness of traditional and mainstream South Asian culture, and to continue celebrating our culture and heritage through our work.


  • Make a difference through dance. We will continue to raise money for causes that are dear to us by having our "Dance For Life" fund-raisers every couple of years. Our goal is to create interesting, inspiring, and thought-provoking work and at the same time help make a difference.


  • Produce art that represents the times. Bollywood dance is never static, it keeps changing & adapts to other new styles of dance.


  • Formalize the discipline of Bollywood dance. By doing so, students can learn systematically through standardized basic steps & learn a repertoire of moves that are essential to developing a strong Bollywood dance base.


  • Promote total well-being. Use your entire body and focus your energy in a much more involving and enjoyable way! Dance away your stress and burn those extra calories.


  • Make dance accessible to people of ALL ages, skill levels, abilities and backgrounds. Everyone can benefit from Rhythm India classes! Our goal is to spread the joy & benefits of dance. With the right guidance and a positive attitude, we believe that ANYONE can dance!!
