Description:
Moksha Arts Dance Company
The Moksha Arts Dance Company is our premier performance group for dedicated dancers ages 7+. Company members represent Moksha Arts at community events, showcases, and competitions, both locally and internationally.
Being part of the Dance Company is a commitment to artistic growth, teamwork, and performance excellence. Dancers train weekly in company rehearsals and are also required to enroll in at least one additional class to continue building strong technique and versatility.
As members, dancers receive unique opportunities including:
- Performing at special events and cultural festivals
- Working closely with teachers (“Didi”) and student mentors
- Developing leadership, confidence, and stage presence
The Dance Company is more than a performance group. It’s a supportive community where young dancers grow in skill, discipline, and grace.
What’s Included:
- 2027 Moksha Arts T-Shirt
- Training in Bollywood dance foundations, performance skills, and confidence-building
- Semester-end dancer-only showcase on Thursday, December 10th @ 5pm (for Moksha Arts dancers only)
Communication:
All Moksha Arts communication happens via email. Please be sure to register with an email you check regularly.
Teachers: Ashlesha Shah
At Moksha Arts, we lovingly call our teachers “Didi,” which means older sister. Our Didis are more than instructors. They are friends, mentors, and role models who nurture each dancer with care, encouragement, and inspiration.
