Teachers
Marisha spent part of her childhood in the Netherlands and then moved to India at a young age. Finding herself in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), the origin of Bollywood, she fell in love with Bollywood Dancing. Bollywood songs tell a story, with the steps choreographed to translate the words and feelings in an expressive way. She had four years of formal dance training in the classical dance form of Kuchipudi and was also taught Bollywood Dance by Shiamak Daver (Bollywood Movie Choreographer) for six years. This is exactly what makes her classes unique: she blends both styles into her own!
