Desi Dance Community
Building an inclusive and supportive community, one class at a time
We started the Desi Dance Community in 2022, with the intention of bringing together the different dance communities all over the Bay Area. We felt the need for more support for each other within the South Asian dance community. We strongly believe that we can all support each other's artistry while continuing to pursue our own individual goals as well. As Desi Dance Community, we host our own classes while acting as a common platform to share and promote other artists within the Bay Area.
Our goal is to be the string that ties together all the different desi artists across the bay and provide centralized access to dance classes to our community. We will continue working together to make the Bay Area a thriving hub for growth and creative expression among south Asian dancers. Our mission is to highlight, inspire, and engage South Asian dance artists in the Bay Area by bringing together a diverse range of dance educators to teach in our community.
Our goal is for our community to have accessible dance training in addition to creating a space for dance educators to share their artistry and knowledge. Our vision is for every person in our community to experience dance through the diverse lens of our instructors, with the hope that it may spark something that they may want to continue to explore further.
As of 2024, Desi Dance Community will exist as a project under Ishami Dance Company. This change will allow us to grow further as a community. We have a significant overlap in members, values, and goals and with this partnership, we are going to have access to resources which will allow us to create bigger events. This year we are planning to have our first Dance Convention in the Bay Area, as well as continuing to host many wonderful artists as part of our mission to bring a diverse range of dance educators to our growing community.
