Our story

Dance Masala was conceived by Andrea Lam ( dreachoreo ) in December 2012 with a vision of creating an all-style Bollywood Dance School in Brisbane. Bollywood Dance is the umbrella term given to any dance set to Bollywood Music, much like ‘Disco’, the genre has widely defined characteristics and embodies many micro-styles (e.g. Semiclassical, Folk Fusion and Hip Hop Fusion). We believe that Bollywood can be a technical and profound art form, as beautiful and diverse as India herself. Bollywood draws from many influences, and Dance Masala is proud to be ‘pure Bollywood’, a lively fusion of Indian and Western dance.

Dance Masala is a Bollywood Dance School with Courses for Adults, and a curriculum of dance for children, as well as drop-in workshops on Sundays.. We offer exceptional Bollywood Dance Entertainment for Corporate and Private Events. We are leaders in Cultural Dance Education, and run workshops, and incursions at many schools throughout the year. We are proud to be the National Title holder of the Telstra Bollywood Dance Competition’s Best Team in Australia from 2019, as presented by Malaika Arora Khan and Arjun Kapoor at the Indian Film Festival Melbourne.
