Our Story
When a tribe of passionate artists with years of exposure in dance, fitness, yoga and an appetite for creative arts got together, DanceVersify was born! It is a no-judgement zone where you break the shackles, dance your heart out, crush those calories and take home a smile! Our classes range from the pulse-pumping, signature D'Va Bollywood dance styles, to the Indian Classical Bharatanatyam, where the unique synthesis of dance, yoga & martial arts are taught along with a Certificate Program. Learn different styles, like Bhangra, Bihu, HipHop with storytelling methods, celebrity specials, and more. The juniors are given special care by our dedicated instructors and you can witness them grow their artistic face while having the best time moving & grooving. An hour spend with the D'Va family is sure to leave you dancing, blazing and smiling!
​
Since August 2009, the group has been performing at various prestigious platforms across Memphis, Nashville, Jackson, etc. and in India. Fast forward a few years and the DanceVersify Academy was launched with all new training modules that brought together the passion of dance, choreography and fitness together to create a new brand of dance. The D'Va offers an unique Indian Classical Dance Program in Bharatanatyam & NavaNrityam, an alchemy of Indian Classical Dance Forms with Natya Yoga, along with Bollywood & Modern Fusions. They embrace diversity in every form!
The professional performing troupe has performed with eminent celebrities of Indian Cinema, opening concerts for the musical duo Salim-Sulaiman, the Bhangra King Mika Singh, and more. As we continue to grow our D'Va squad of artists, instructors, juniors and patrons, it is only a matter of time for the DanceVersify Academy to reach your city! Till then, keep dancing, blazing and smiling!
