Making‌ ‌Career‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌Dance Instructor

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.”- Harriet Tubman

Great or not, but my life surprisingly turned out to be my dream that came true. Ever since I could remember, I had dreamt of owning a dance studio and becoming a dance instructor. But like many, my passion was also smouldered under the constant pressure to focus on shaping a career in a so-called “more stable and reputed” field.


Love‌ ‌for‌ ‌dancing‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌dream.

I was 10 years old when I first started taking professional training in Kathak (Classical dance form in UP). Time flew and dance became a salient part of my personality. My parents were also very supportive of my hobby. However, reality hit hard when I had to leave my Kathak classes for higher studies. I went to Dehradun for completing my higher education (Masters in Microbiology). I thoroughly enjoyed my studies, topped the semesters and earned scholarships. But I craved every moment to continue with my study of Kathak. I had also decided to join a dance school for the same but my pocket money was way too less to afford the classes and examinations. That was the time when I decided that I would start with my Kathak lessons as soon as I start earning. And that is exactly what I did.

After college, I joined GlaxoSmithKline as a Business Executive but my hunger for the art never diminished. After working for about two years there, I realised that dance had always been, was and would always remain my first priority. I immediately applied for the post of an instructor in a private academy in New Delhi for the sake of gaining experience. I had to face criticism from family and friends about my decision of quitting a reputed company and taking up my passion as my career. But the criticism eventually helped me by motivating me further during my arduous years of struggle. They pushed me in a trance to prove myself. The turning point of my life appeared when I started with my entrepreneurial journey with “Dantza” in March 2016. It took me quite long; around 1.5 to 2 years of hard work, determination and patience to establish Dantza as a brand in Dwarka, Delhi. Meanwhile, I also got certified as a Zumba trainer and started with Zumba classes in Dantza too.


Running‌ ‌a‌ ‌successful‌ ‌dance‌ ‌academy.

Today, Dantza is one of the leading dance academies of Dwarka, New Delhi in the Google chart. We have students ranging from toddlers to quinquagenarians, who are being trained in the various Classical and Western dance forms. Our aim is to be consistent with our sterling service to our customers. I am enjoying my career as an instructor and a performer. Dance makes me happy and confident. It also makes me feel beautiful and adds strength to my being.

If I am asked to point out that one thing in my life of which I am really proud of, it undoubtedly is my academy. It adds breeze to my passion and gives wings to my dreams. It helps me earn respect in society and it stands as a source of strength for me, both financially and emotionally. My profession doesn’t only help me to earn my livelihood but also helps me to have a robust and happy body and mind. I thank God, my parents and some very wonderful people in my life to whom I will always owe this success.
