Dance with me: Mumbai’s dance studios

You have had your fill of the regular Shiamak salsa. Now you are on the prowl to perfect a few new moves to burn up the dance floor. Sign up at these dance studios to be the livewire at every party.

Learn to rock the Capoeira way. Aanchal Gupta's Arts In Motion Dance Studio (Sion W) brings to India for the first time Capoeira, a fusion of martial arts and dance, that originated among the African slaves in colonial Brazil. Now Brazil’s national sport, Capoeira blends elements of dance, music, rituals, acrobatics and fighting for weight management.

If you feel like burning up the calories balle balle, you can sign up for masala bhangra sessions. Feel the drum beats, hear the rhythm and work up a great sweat with this Indo-Western workout-cum-dance routine.

Forget firangi, if filmi be your calling, then Bollywood jhatkas and matkas come up your way. Get in touch with choreographer Brinda, who works with celebs, and is full of novel ideas. When asked, she can even forge a short skit packed with a musical medley, for you. Dial her at 9820243999.

But if you want to be the red, hot chilly pepper at the party, sign up for Zumba—the Latin-flavoured aerobics. The classes are conducted by fitness expert Shalini Bhargava, India’s only certified Zumba teacher, at her club JG's Fitness Centre (Santa Cruz W).

You can also get in touch with Natasha (9821918442) and Ila Dalal (22882522) for a vigorous booty-bouncing session.

Go, shake a leg, twinkle toes.
