The 21st century world is a fast shrinking place. Think GLOBAL: Help your child and yourself learn about the cultures and languages around and across the globe. Dance students learn energetic and brand new segments in relatively short periods of time. Less time + less cost- yet more results. We aim for global standards of the dance form with fresh content & fresh ideas.
It's best to wear something comfortable that allows free movement. Clothing that is too tight, or too short will inhibit your movement, be difficult and uncomfortable to dance in. In beginner dance levels feel free to dress comfortably, sweatpants, yoga tights, tees, khakis, cargos are fine. Overall, stretch, loose clothing offer greater comfort, flexibility or movement and good circulation.

I've been dancing with Priya for close to 6 months. I've taken several of her Bollywood Dance fitness classes through Raleigh Parks and Rec and I've done a special performance with her for a wedding proposal. She's dedicated, passionate, and very good at what she does. I look forward to dancing with her more in the future!

I love my dance class. Priya is so good with choreography. She teaches dance steps so perfectly that when we start new dance/song i feel i can not do it, but within just 2-3 classes i can do almost all the steps so easily. In her class you can burn your calories, boost your confidence, clean your dance steps day by day.

My husband and I first learned of Priya through a friend, who had used her services to choreograph their first dance at their wedding. After seeing the video, I was convinced! I contacted Priya and she was amazing from start to finish.
She started off with a 1-hour consultation, which she was extremely flexible with, accommodating us when one of us had to facetime in to the conversation. She got a feel for what kind of music we both like, as well as what kind of dancing we wanted to do. We hired her for a short and cute dance at our Mehndi celebration, and a longer medley for our Valima (reception

We know Priya Chellani and Indio Dance Evolution Academy for many years. They offer brilliant training for traditional and latest Bollywood dance. One of the best things about their service is that people from all learning background can join their workshop. Priya and her students also perform dances at local cultural events, which is a fascinating way to learn about their wonderful art. We highly recommend their service if you are looking to be fit, learn a new art form, and have fun at the same time.

Priya helped my wife and wife choreograph and perfect our wedding dance. We both have no formal dance experience and basically have two left piece, and Priya helped us make a masterpiece. Everyone at my wedding was blown away. Priya is one tough cookie. She honestly worked harder then me and my wife did for this dance. She put in extra effort, did extra choreographing, stayed for extra time, and pushed us to be our absolute best. She has a very bollywoodesque style - she likes mixing classic bollywood songs with modern punjabi rap and also knows how to mix in modern hip hop (we used bruno mars
