It's time to bring the dancer in you to explore various themes and styles! Don't worry that shelter in-place has restricted outdoor movement. You too can dance from the comfort of your home through online dance workshops. Dance is a full body workout that helps improve your physical fitness, emotional uplift and also mental exercise (oh yea! memorizing the steps and counts have been proven through studies to prevent Alzhemers in seniors too!) Now you can join the Fallon V'Dezi Bolly-Hiphop Dance workshops and experience a fun filled environment of learning various styles of dance (Bollywood? Hiphop? Indian Folk? Lyrical Hiphop? we got ya covered!) across multiple languages.
