About us
The IndraDance group had its first appearance on stage in 2015, under the coordination of Alexandra Roșu.
Two years later, IndraDance Academy is established, the first Indian dance school in Bucharest, out of the desire to bring the culture and dances of India closer to enthusiasts.
Numerous TV appearances and prizes won at the biggest specialty competition in Europe recommend us as the best in the field.
We approach a variety of styles, from traditional dances to classical dances, but especially modern bollywood such as bollyheels, bollybelly, bollyhop. If you haven't heard of them, pay us a visit. You will fall head over heels in love with at least one of the styles.
Alexandra Rosu- Artistic director and dance instructor
In short, Alexxa.
In the 20 years of dancing, I have studied various styles (ballet, ballroom, street dance, Latino social, etc.) of which 17 years I have dedicated especially to Indian dances. I also studied Hindi and the classical Indian dance, Kathak, in India. I am a dance instructor, accredited since 2015.
Over time, I participated in many national and international bollywood competitions, where I was always on the podium, both solo and especially (and I am proud) with my students and the advanced dance group, which confirmed to me that I do what I do well. And more than that, we put Romania's name on the international map of Indian dance, IndraDance being the only one that has ever participated in international specialty festivals.
I am constantly improving myself, with international instructors.
I do my job with passion, dedication and a lot of involvement. I believe that anyone can learn anything and it's never too late to start.
Alexandra Paraschiv-Păun- dance instructor
Pe scurt, Ali.
I have been part of the beautiful IndraDance community for 8 years. I joined the group at the age of 26 and today I am an instructor in this school and that makes me very happy.
I started shyly, full of emotions, 8 years ago with shaking legs on stage and I have grown with these beautiful people to the point where I have perfected myself and want to share my knowledge and passion with others who are willing to learn.
There were many events and competitions in which I took part but, by far, until this moment, the most important for me is winning 2nd place at the "Bollywood and multicultural dance festival" in Athens-Greece, one of the most important competitions in Europe of this kind.
In the 20 years of passion vis-à-vis dance, my ardor has not faded for a moment and, despite the knee injuries, I did not give up but focused on what I know how to do better: to put even more value in the arms, the grace and the expressions of the face, so that I can convey emotions and feelings through dance.
Why choose Indian dance?
-Gives you freedom of movement and at the same time conveys a story. The main characteristic of this style is that the lyrics of the songs are translated into movement, the dancer thus becoming the narrator.
-It is graceful for its delicate wrist movements and gliding body movements.
-It's a great form of exercise because it includes yoga-based stretching, aerobics, and high-resistance levels of movement. In addition to basic movement vocabulary, emphasis is placed on developing speed, strength and endurance. So you'll burn more calories in half an hour than any other dance style or most recommended exercise/gym plans.
-Provides great benefits in the development of a growing child's body. For example, it improves posture, strengthens the arch of the foot, the fingers and the muscles of the eyes and neck.
-Improves self confidence, stamina and memory as you have to remember your steps. Your eyes and whole face are taught to be expressive!
- Indian dance takes you out of your comfort zone and activates all areas of your brain responsible for body coordination and good mood
We'll tell you only 5 of the reasons (the rest you discover yourself when you come to us; we like mystery)
1. - we are the oldest Indian dance school in Romania, so we have the most experience in everything that means teaching courses, international competitions (serious competitions), organizing events, etc. (TV appearances, festivals)
2. -we are the coolest and most united team: from the instructors to the students, we don't just do courses, but also socializing and making friends
3. -we cover most Indian dance styles (about 12)
4.- we have 2 instructors - you have a choice, because we know that we don't always resonate with certain people
5. - we provide you with the costumes for the finals of the course and performances on stage (like those you only see in movies)
