Our Story

A studio built on encouragement and joy

Arya Dance Academy began with a simple belief: a child learns fastest when they feel safe enough to be silly, and proud enough to try again.

We teach Bollywood, semi-classical and folk styles from the ground up — posture, expression, timing, and the stories behind the steps. Classes stay deliberately small, so every dancer gets real attention and every student is known by name.

Each term closes with a certificate and a showcase, because progress deserves to be seen. Parents are always welcome to watch.

What families tell us

In their own words — reviews from parents of current students.

We have a wonderful experience with Arya Dance Academy. My son Rananjay really enjoys going and is always excited to attend. He looks forward to every class and loves learning new dance moves. Arya Dance Academy provides wonderful opportunities for children to perform on stage, which helps them build confidence and overcome stage fear. Rubi is very supportive, encouraging and patient. We are very happy with his progress and highly recommend Arya Dance Academy to other parents!

Thiya absolutely loves going to her dance classes! She always looks forward to them and comes home so excited to show us what she has learnt. The classes are fun and encouraging, and I really appreciate how patient and supportive the teacher is with the kids. It's been lovely watching Thiya become more confident and enjoy dancing so much. Highly recommend Arya Dance Academy!
DivyaThiya's mum

Rubi is an amazing dance teacher! She is incredibly patient, kind and wonderful with kids. She has a lovely way of making children feel comfortable, confident and welcome in her classes. Aira always feels supported and encouraged, which makes such a difference to her enjoyment of dancing. We're so grateful to have Rubi as Aira's dance teacher and would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring and encouraging teacher.
