I am an Indian-Japanese dancer, instructor and choreographer, with roots in Bharatanatyam and Bollywood dance. I have 10+ years of dance experience across performance, competition, and teaching in Indian dance styles, hip-hop, contemporary, afro, and latin dance forms like Salsa and Bachata. I am at the heart of the old and new and aspire to bring a fusion of styles to the table.
I believe “creating something uniquely yours is magic.”
Currently, I am based in Tokyo, Japan, teaching Bollywood Fusion and Salsa dance classes under Salsa Misaki. To book classes, please contact me on Instagram!
This genre of dance blends Indian dance styles like Bharatnatyam (traditional South Indian dance or otherwise called “Indian Ballet”), Garba (from North west of India) or Bhangra (North Indian energetic dance style), with modern Western styles like hip-hop, afro, and contemporary movements. A new style like afro desi is emerging recently where we are seeing afro movements being incorporated into Bollywood movies and choreographies.

If I need to cancel a class due to illness or an unexpected situation, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule. Life happens, and I’ll always let you know as soon as possible.
If you need to cancel within 24 hours of the class, the full class fee is non-refundable. This policy helps cover the time and preparation that goes into each session.
If something comes up before that window, please reach out as early as you can. I’ll always try to work with you where possible.
Please only join a class if you feel physically ready for it. You know your body best.
Before we start, let me know about any injuries, medical conditions, or physical limitations. The more I know, the better I can support you.
If I feel that continuing might cause harm, I may ask someone to sit out or adapt their movement. It always comes from a place of care.
During class, please follow any safety guidance I give. It keeps everyone in the room safe and able to enjoy the session.
I occasionally take photos or videos during class to share on social media and the website. By attending, you’re okay with appearing in these.
If you’d rather not be photographed or filmed, just let me know before class starts. No problem at all.
These classes are a space where everyone should feel welcome, comfortable, and free to just dance.
Please be kind and respectful toward fellow students and toward me. That’s really all I ask.
To keep the space feeling good for everyone, please keep the class free from solicitation, religious or political activities, network marketing, or anything unrelated to why we’re all here.
If something does come up that affects the comfort or safety of the group, I’ll handle it with care and fairness.
