Rucha Joshi
Dancer and Fitness Instructor in Santa Clara, California
My love for dance was very visible from a very young age. I used to perform whenever I get an opportunity or I will make one to dance. I was born in India with many dance and art academy around me and that's where my my formal dance training started. I took my first steps in Indian classical dance form i.e. Bharatnatyam at an early a very early age, and I continued the learning for next seven years. My hunger to learn other dance forms led me to learn Kathak, another Indian Classical dance form. Through all these years, I have been performing in various competitions & dance forums, and won many awards too.
When I got an opportunity to teach dance to kids I jumped in and since then I never looked back. It is so rewarding to see your students perform with confidence on stage. I choreographed various events at middle schools and preschools.
I am also a certified Zumba instructor and love this high energy, calorie burning dance fitness. I take classes at various Gym and at community places.
