A LITTLE ABOUT US…
We are two physicians who met through a passion for Bollywood dance and music! Throughout our lives, dancing has been an inherent part of who we are and a great avenue for us to learn about and appreciate our culture!
As our careers in the medical field took off and ours lives got busier, dancing moved down on the priority list. It was sometimes difficult to find the motivation to get out of a daily routine and figure out how to incorporate a new energy and excitement back into our lives.
When we met, we were immediately driven by each other’s positive energy to bring back this joy of dancing and to share it with others! Despite the challenges of daily life and our current situation, T2 Dance Company has been an opportunity for us to be a part of an interactive group setting while getting in some fun exercise! We are so honored that the T2 family brings such an encouraging group of individuals together who lift each others’ spirits.
That sense of community has brought a whole new level of vigor to our passion for Bollywood dancing. We can’t believe this little idea of ours has blossomed into something so wonderful.
At T2 Dance Company, our goal is to help communities realize their dance potential by teaching easy-to-follow routines that can accommodate all ages and dance levels.
We’d love to add some fun moves and amazing beats into your life to help you burn your stress and calories, meet some amazing people, and grow in unimaginable ways!
Thank you for all your support, love and time! We have a deep love for dance in our soul and would love to share that passion with you during our classes! We can’t wait to dance with y’all soon!

Since the young age of 4, this Miami native has been choreographing and dancing in various dance styles. She has transitioned from Bollywood to garba and raas and finally to bhangra throughout her early years. She has choreographed dances for a team of elementary age students for a bhangra competition, just like she does with our T2 kids! As the Captain, choreographer and costume designer for her bhangra team, she helped lead them to win First Place prizes at several state-wide competitions in Florida and as performers in the Maa Da Laadla music video from the movie Dostana!
As she juggles work as an Endocrinologist and Weight Loss Specialist, she continues to choreograph dances for herself and her family and friends for weddings and special family events! Dancing is a way for her to release stress, forget any negativity and embrace the culture that she loves so much. She loves it as a form of exercise and expression and is excited to pass that on to y'all and your kids! She is our bhangra master, so get ready for those high knees, big smiles and bold moves on her bhangra nights!

It’s hard for this Chicago native to remember when dancing and performing wasn’t a part of her life. Over the years, she has mastered various forms of dance starting with Bollywood, bhangra, and garba to salsa, hip hop, and jazz. She loves the invigorating feeling that she has gotten from performing on various stages including Carnival cruise ship performances, national dance competitions and the Singh is King music video.
Despite having a hectic schedule as an Emergency Medicine physician, she continues to find ways to incorporate the uplifting energy of dance into her life by choreographing for various special occasions and choreographing and participating in performances at festivals/shows. Sharing her love for dance with the world and teaching students of all ages and backgrounds has taken this passion to new heights. She believes that dance enables you to find yourself and lose yourself at the same time. She can’t wait to get you moving your hips and wearing your smiles as you embrace your strength as beautiful and graceful dancers!
