We move.
Together.

Born out of a love for dance. Built for the community. Driven by energy, movement, and the belief that the right room can change everything.

12+ Years of dance between us

Pataka was born from a simple idea, bringing people together through dance. What started as a shared passion is now a platform connecting artists, dancers and communities across cities and cultures. At its core, it's about energy, movement, and meaningful connections, building a space where everyone belongs.

Our Story

"Dancing has always been my safe space, Pataka is that space, made bigger."

Born in Dubai, raised in Bangalore, currently teaching dance in Reading (just outside London) 💃

Back in 2021, I was desperate to dance, learn, and grow, but there were zero workshops happening in Bangalore. So I took matters into my own hands. I started travelling to Mumbai for classes, convincing artists to come down south, and ended up organising entire tours for them.

I come with a sales and marketing hat too, By night and most weekends, I live and breathe dance.

"Every Pataka event is proof that the right room, with the right people, changes everything."

Born in Mumbai, raised in Bangalore, now bringing my passion for dance to London 🔥

My dance journey began the most authentic way, just moving to the rhythm in my apartment as a kid. What started as pure joy evolved into a 12-year adventure spanning Hip Hop, Contemporary, and Bollywood. From those living room sessions to training with Shiamak, and now building a community in London, every step has been transformative.

By night I help run The Pataka Project, managing operations, artist relations, and making sure every event is exactly what it should be.
