June has been a month of change and new perspectives. We are in the process of bringing to life a much bigger space for our dance community. We can't wait to share some of our favorite moments from this month and celebrate the amazing community we're building together. Heels Intensive by Amala Sivaji The month started with a Heels Intensive Workshop by Amala Sivaji on the 14th and 15th of June. Over the weekend, Amla taught two unique choreographies, blending style and technique throughout the training. Day 1 was a saucy choreo to “Shake It to The Max” and day two was choreographed to “Two Weeks”. The intensive was an incredible experience with students enjoying a perfect mix of fun and while also getting some serious learning in.

“I really loved the structure of the class. It made me comfortable enough to push me out of my comfort zone and try something new.“ - Attendee
Unlock with KEFTON
In a special collaboration, ARDSIndia along with Originalstreetdance, invited KEFTON, the international artist all the way from France! The workshop series was hosted in 2 sessions. The first session was filled with body conditioning, strengthening foundations and learning choreography while the second session was inclined towards sharing knowledge. Students had cypher sessions, spoke about their concerns when it came to the style, confronted their fears about freestyle—in a nutshell the session was truly insightful. The workshop was a massive hit with a houseful of 80 attendees!

“Kefton had a very interesting approach. He provided me with real time tips and guidance when I brought up a concern about my freestyling. I feel he directed me in the right path with the best advice.” - Nimisha S
“More than teaching, he really made us realise what dance is about. He’s a legend. Loved the session.” - Monen Weekend Workshop series with Divya
The studio hosted a 2-day weekend workshop series along with none other than our favourite- Divya Easwaran. Day 1 was a dancehall choreo to ‘Boasty’ while day 2 was choreographed to Baddie by Yemi Alade. The students thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and had the best time!
