Bollywood dance lessons: a guide for pros

What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.

Offering bollywood dance lessons

You teach Bollywood dance, blending Indian folk and classical elements with modern moves, to individuals and groups. Your listing should name the styles you teach and the events you prepare dancers for.

What customers ask

  • I need a routine for my sister's wedding in six weeks. Can you teach it?
  • Do you teach the expressive gestures, or only the steps?
  • Can you teach a group of kids for a school show?
  • Do you choreograph a routine to a song I choose?
  • How do I keep a large group in sync?

How to win the job

  • On the first call, ask the event, the song, the group size and the date of the performance.
  • Offer a short movement check, and explain how the first sessions will be planned around the routine.
  • Show a sample section of a routine with the counts and the meaning of each gesture explained.
  • Share a short clip of a section taught in parts, so the group sees how you break it down.
  • Put the song, class count, rehearsal dates and practice tasks in the quote.
  • Say how you handle groups with mixed experience, so the group knows how the routine will be taught.

What to put on your profile

  • Your Bollywood training, such as years of study, teaching credentials or performance credits.
  • The styles and levels you teach, such as wedding routines, school shows or adult classes.
  • Photos or short clips of you teaching or performing, with no faces of students or guests unless they agree.
  • The class and rehearsal formats you offer, such as private lessons, group routines or showcase prep.
  • Reviews that name the event and the result, once the client agrees to share them.

Follow-up that helps the customer

  • After a session, suggest a short section to practice and the date of the next rehearsal.
  • Offer a full rehearsal before the event when the client's goal fits, and let them choose.
  • Recommend a new routine for the next celebration once the group is ready, and let them decide.

Licenses and permits

No license is usually required to teach Bollywood dance privately. Keep your training records, performance credits and references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need. If you teach children, have written answers ready on supervision and background checks.
