Welcome To Dance Namaste

DanceNamaste has something for everyone who wants to dance. I teach regular classes and one-off workshops for Nepalese folk dance, Buddhist ritual dance and Bollywood dance. I lead Interactive Creative Dance Movement and Integrated Dance sessions for people of all abilities and all ages, working in schools, community centers, nurseries, hospitals, colleges, universities, parties, clubs and festivals.
I perform, choreograph and enjoy collaborative projects with artists from all genres and disciplines. I am developing a project to take the therapeutic use of dance to Nepal.

DanceNamaste is about expression, interaction, creation, inclusion and connection. Central to DanceNamaste is the conviction that dance is for all. I have found dance to be therapeutic and have experienced that everybody can dance. Dance allows people to express what they cannot say with words and connects people at a deeper level. I believe in the uniqueness of each individual's expression through dance movement and work to draw out the dance within each one of us. To be a part of that process is a unique and wonderful experience.

I have been dancing for over 25 years - performing, choreographing and teaching. I founded and directed Nepal's first dance academy and we toured internationally. For the last eight years I have been working as a dance artist in the UK. I work with a range of influences, fusing east and west, ancient and contemporary. Drawing upon the rich Nepalese dance culture and western release-based techniques I have developed a unique expressive style.
