    We went to Megha for instruction on our first dance for our wedding reception and she was fantastic! My husband and I were at the beginner level, but after working with Megha, we're proud to say we've become pretty confident (and competitive) on the dance floor! Megha has a way of teaching you dance moves that you never thought you could do. She breaks down the basics and complements the movement with really strong verbal instruction. I think this comes from a true, incredible understanding of human movement. I also highly recommend her team (we primarily worked with another great dancer named Sankalp); they are experienced and come from great dancing backgrounds.

    Megha is the best. She's patient and will make sure you get every step during the class. There's also Bhangra Social events you can be part. Whether you speak Hindi or not, music just brings us together. :)

    I have been with NYC Bhangra for a little more than a month and I am loving it. To begin with, I joined the fitness class which was a workout with dance and music!! So basically its a lot of fun! Megha has a lot of energy and enthusiasm which she spreads around. I am now part of the intense class and Megha's commitment and passion is very evident (she's been doing this for more than a decade now!!). So come have fun, sweat and be fit ;)

    Megha is a fire cracker and a rockstar. I have been attending her Bhangra classes for about a year; even did a beginners performance in NYC Holi Hai 2017 organized by her.
    She is able to cater to all levels of dance experience in her class, including correcting your posture, improving your stamina, maintaining the grace and yet having tons of workout and fun. ... Start with beginners Bhangra class if you're new. There's also Bhangra fitness if you just want to focus on Bhangra workout routines. ... Balle balle!
