I love meeting and learning about people from different backgrounds. Originally from Mumbai, India, I worked as a newspaper journalist in the culture section and a French teacher before moving to France about six years ago to teach English.
I'm also passionate about dance. I was part of a troupe in Mumbai and participated in several events and shows. I now teach Indian dance in France and perform with my group of dancers a few times a year. My life-changing discovery in Europe : Afro-Latin dance forms. I'm addicted to salsa, bachata, kizomba and forró (open to learning more!) and travel for dance events and festivals whenever I get the chance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Paragliding in Mauritius, parasailing in Thailand, I believe I can fly. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If your English is rusty and you'd like to practice it a bit, look no further. I could also teach you Hindi/French and/or a few basics of Latin/Indian dance.
