Founder

Our Story & Dance Background

iDance Academy of Performing Arts was founded with a simple mission: to share the beauty, discipline, and joy of Bollywood, Indian classical and folk dance with the local community. What began as a small passion project has grown into a welcoming home for dancers of every age and skill level.

Our founder, Ishita Bhatnagar, trained for over a decade in Kathak and Bollywood dance under renowned gurus, performing on stages in India and across the USA before bringing that expertise home to build a studio rooted in tradition, technique, and creative expression.

Today, our instructors continue that legacy — nurturing confidence, culture, and community through dance, one student at a time.

Testimonials

What our students and their families say about their journey at iDance Academy.

★★★★★

"Ishita at iDance Academy has done something truly remarkable with our daughter. She came in as the youngest and shyest child in the class — and over the past year she has blossomed into a confident, joyful performer who absolutely loves being on stage. The credit goes entirely to Ishita's patience, love and dedication. She has a rare ability to see the potential in every child and nurture it with such genuine care. Watching our daughter perform now with complete confidence is something we will never forget — and we have Ishita to thank for every moment of it. iDance Academy is truly special. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
