Art doesn't discriminate. When we say that all are welcome to our sessions, we really mean everyone — as long as they love to dance," Sumeet Nagdev, founder of Sumeet Nagdev Dance Arts (SNDA), a Dadar-based dance academy tells us.

From the 27th of this month, and to celebrate its 12th anniversary, SNDA is hosting 12 free workshops for juniors aged seven and above, teens and adults. These range from kathak, contemporary dance and hip-hop to aerial silks, b-boying and waacking. Despite popular perception, Nagdev tells us that the dance forms are extremely beginner-friendly. "When we started out, people had no idea about what modern dance was. Now, when we mention b-boying, most equate it with only doing head-spins, but here, we start with basic moves. And after we finish the workshops, there will also be performances by faculty members and students of the academy," he says, mentioning the fact that it is also World Dance Day on April 29.
