The Danceworx Performing Arts Academy
The Danceworx Academy was set up by Indian-Australian choreographer Ashley Lobo in November of 1998 to teach dance along the lines of dance institutes overseas. Currently, its curriculum consists of styles such as Jazz, Classical Ballet, Contemporary, and choreography classes in the styles of Jazz Funk and Heels. Over the last 23 years, TDX has had a growing student base across Delhi, Mumbai, and the North Capital Region. However, with the advent of online learning, the academy has now reached students across the country, making REAL dance truly accessible to all.
The philosophy of The Danceworx is “Helping people find and build their dance & themselves, to full potential, in an environment of fun, love & values.” Students are guided to apply the self-belief, discipline, and goal-setting skills that they have discovered through dance into their chosen vocations, be it dance or any other.
The Danceworx believes in the facilitation of evolving artists. Students are taught that dance is not limited to steps alone but includes a wider understanding of self, creativity, movement, and physiology. This information is to enable them to create their own work and eventually discover and develop a movement style of their own. “To create a higher awareness & understanding of international dance and to facilitate & help in developing constantly evolving artists.”
