Dance Teachers
NIKITA THAKRAR:
Nikita Thakrar is one of the youngest, most successful asian woman in the UK today. She is a performer, dance teacher, choreographer and director of her own dance company, all at a tender age. She has enhanced her student's lives through dance and is making a difference to society not just in her local community but nationally and internationally as well.
She is part of the newest generation of Kathak (pure Classical Indian dancers) & her unique style of semi-classical dance (a sensible merge of Kathak & Bollywood dance) has mesmerised audiences across the world.
Highlights of her career and just a few of her achievements to date include:
- In 2004 and 2005 Nikita was invited by the Pontins team (holiday camp) to provide a Bollywood weekend of workshops and cabaret.
- From 2005 Nikita and her team started performing at private & corporate events - previous clients include Ford, Asda, BMI, Vodafone and many more.
- In 2007, Nikita toured all over Australia with a group from Bombay as a leading performer in the Indian musical production 'Dreamgirls of Bollywood.'
- In 2008, Nikita toured with Kathak dancer Anuj Mishra (son of Pandit Arjun Mishra) in France, and at the Bhavan Centre in London.
- In 2008 Nikita was nominated for the UK awards; 'Asian Women of Achievement Awards' in the 'Young Achiever of the Year' catergory. In the same year she also traveled extensively across Europe delivering workshops for various dance schools who had invited her to share her knowledge with their advanced level students.
In addition to performing, she also trains over 100 students a week at her main dance studio in Slough (West London). When she is away she has her teacher training students who successfully run the classes.
However, Nikita does not just stop there! She also produces and directs her own stage productions, which provide her students and professional dancers a platform for exposure and experience.
