Neha Jain
Hi everyone! I’m Neha – MOM-entum’s Bollywood Fusion teacher! I’m a mom to a cute little boy (and loving it) and work in market research. I also love writing, singing, hiking – and dancing.
My Story
I started dancing when I was too young to remember – starting off with the classical South Asian dance, Bharatnatyam and competing both individually and with a dance group throughout my state in India. I slowly started to learn semi-classical/ folk / Bollywood dances and started competing in those styles as well.
When I moved to US in 4th grade, I started branching out into other styles and have now learned jazz, hip hop, lyrical, and flamenco in addition to my Indian classical/Bollywood roots. I started my own dance group in college, and we competed and won several local competitions and performed at college events. Most recently, my husband and I were learning bachata and tango pre-baby, and I started to learn Kathak while I was pregnant.
MOM-entum was an unexpected surprise, and I am so thrilled to have found a way to continue dancing and share something that I love to do with others – and also, get to make friends and form bonds with other moms. I have been having a blast getting to know the moms in this group and hope to meet more of you soon!
