Kids Dance Classes

  • Doonya Kids Program

    The DoonyaKids Bollywood programming uses a mindful approach to dance with the goal to associate dance, fitness, and movement with joy.

    Students will learn basic South Asian-inspired routines and movements with an emphasis on developing rhythm, body coordination and control, and understanding storytelling through dance.

    While the focus will be a choreographed routine in various Bollywood dance styles (from traditional to pop), other music, breathing, and mindful movement activities are included in each class. My goal as a teacher is to build your child's confidence and appreciation of what their bodies can DO, understanding of how the mind-body-breath connection allows for movement, and to feel joy in the present movement. While recitals and performances are a part of learning, my goal is to give them a tool for experiencing joy in the moment!

    Bollywood Basics is currently being offered through Coomer Ballet Conservatory. All registration and payment can be made through their site and portal.

My son has been learning dance with Kajal since he was 4 years old and we have had an incredible experience. Kajal has been more than a dance teacher. She has been a coach, a mentor, a second mom and a consistent loving presence in my son’s life. He adores her. It is so clear that teaching dance is not simply a job for Kajal, but a calling. We are so grateful to have her and the DoonyaKids community in our lives!

I have been dancing with Kajal Aunty since I was 6 years old, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all she’s taught me and how she introduced me into the dance world. You can tell how much she values her students, treating them like her own kids, and I have loved growing under her guidance for the past decade. I highly recommend anyone who is considering trying out Bollywood dance to work with Kajal Aunty, because from experience it has truly changed my life.

Kajal has a special way of encouraging every child to believe in themselves while making learning fun and inspiring. We are so grateful for the lasting impact she has had on both of our children. She is an incredibly talented teacher, a wonderful mentor, and someone who truly cares about each of her students both on and off the dance floor.
