Meet Our Team

Shreyas Kudrimoti

Adults Instructor

My dance history started as a middle schooler learning the popular Bollywood dance moves from my mom and performing at the local temple productions. My dance experience truly blossomed during my 4 years on my collegiate South Asian fusion dance team – Penn Dhamaka. While on Dhamaka I learned and choreographed the styles of filmi, bhangra, South Indian, hip-hop, and raas. We were afforded the opportunity to perform and compete across the country at events in Boston, Austin, and Dallas. Additionally, we held an annual on-campus show in Philadelphia where I performed in as many as 8 dance sets per show and even choreographed my own 4-5 minute sets. As a junior and senior, I was elected Artistic Director. I was responsible for coordinating all the pieces in the annual show and was also the chief choreographer in our competition pieces. After graduating from college, I spent one year on Aluminati, a South Asian fusion dance group composed of other alumni from the Desi Dance Network circuit. I continue to dance in my free time as a form of exercise and still keep up with the new music trends. My favorite and strongest styles to dance and teach are South Indian, Filmi, and Bhangra. I would love to join another group which shares my passion for dance and connect with my community through dance.
