Pooja Naidu
Owner, Instructor & Performer - Indian Dances
Growing up in India, I was exposed to Classical Indian Dancing and Singing at a young age. At Ten, I trained in Bharatnatyam, a classical South Indian Dance, then pursued my passion further, performing at various events as well as school and college competitions held in and outside of my home state, Delhi. I also choreographed different styles of Indian dances for annual celebration events at pre and high school levels.
Uniting my passion for dance and a natural flair for teaching, I started teaching different styles of Indian dances like Semi-Classical, Folk and Bollywood. I continued to perform at national and international conferences and seminars as I completed my Master’s Degree in Psychology. After coming to America in 2005 and working as a Human Resource Professional, I explored and trained in Latin Ballroom Dancing.
Dedicating to my passion towards the creative life style, my Indian roots and public service, I opened my dance school Shake Bollywood Shake in 2010. While successfully running dance classes for Kids and Adults, I travel conducting Indian dance workshops and performances throughout Philadelphia Area. Committed to widen my horizons I teach Yoga and Latin dances at YMCA and SeniorCenter while continuing my dance education..
I aspire to use my passion for dancing and unique blend of experience to teach dances shared throughout the world.
