About Sowmya
Sowmya has been dancing since the age of 3 when she first trained in Kuchipudi for over 7 years. She then took on Bollywood for many more years which led her to discovering her passion for choreography and teaching others of all ages for various events and performances. Entering college at Virginia Tech, she seeked to challenge herself in a new dance form and found her niche in Bhangra. For 5 years she pursued the rigorous dance form and competed with her university’s dance team across the country. She went on to become captain of her team before graduating and moving to Seattle for work. Currently she dances bhangra with local dance teams and with other friends for fun.
About Zohal
With a former competitive Garba-Folk dancer as her father, Zohal has been dancing since she could walk! She began her classical training in Bharatnatyam at the age of 5 and competed in nationally renowned competitions such as Boogie Woogie and Naya Andaz through high school. In college, she joined and eventually led New England Bhangra Club and competed in the Bhangra circuit for 4 years. She has also performed in fusion and classical dances for annual college showcases and choreographed performances for youth dancers involved in cultural festivals in her local Indian community in New Jersey. Her favorite season is Garba season! She is excited to continue her journey in dance, as both a student and teacher.
