Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We start by finding the right class and teacher for each student depending on the style of dance, age of dancer, years of experience, and overall goals. After finding the class that best meets their needs students can choose from our workshop packages, drop-in classes, or private/group lessons. During class, our instructors give live corrections to students, answer questions, and implement learning activities where students can interact with other dancers in the class.
We recommend students signing up for the 8-week workshop packages to build upon the skills in that specific genre of dance and build a relationship with instructors. With this low-commitment option, students can either re-enroll to continuing building on skills in the next 8-week session or try a new style of dance! Our drop-in classes are best for dancers wanting to sample a class and private lessons for a tailored curriculum to work on your specific needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We have a growing number of professional choreographers and instructors. All of our teachers have extensive experience in the professional dance world. Whether that be in the collegiate, commercial, or performance domain. We are continually adding new instructors as we expand our class offerings.

How did you get started teaching?
Our award-winning, premier Dance Institute and Performing Company, Nritya Creations Academy of Dance, headquartered in New Jersey, has been imparting the passion of learning, performing, and excelling in dance to students since 1994. Our instructors and students have explored various forms of fusion dance and have gained a deep appreciation for all styles of dance from around the world. We have been providing online classes since March 2020, since the Pandemic to our New Jersey-based studio students. Through this experience, we have mastered best practices and interactive online tools to deliver outstanding, productive dance classes with real-time student feedback.
We now bring our award-winning faculty to our online teaching platform ‘Dance Without Borders’ with real-time interactive group classes. The group classes are small, fun, and affordable, allowing students of all ages and calibers to train. Enjoy learning new dance styles, improve your dance skills and socialize with fellow dancers without the fear of the crowded studios, restrictive masks, and long commutes in affordable classes from the convenience and safety of your home.
What types of students have you worked with?
All ages from Pre-School to Adult
All skill levels from beginner to advanced
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The dance community needs alternative means of accessing classes and teachers due to the looming risk of crowded studios and the closure of local home studios.
The online dance classes currently offered are missing the key elements that help the development of each dancer!
