Over seven years, she trained in and taught specialised styles of dance to people from varied backgrounds.

To help others achieve their wellness goals through dance, movement and fitness, Dilshad moved to New York to pursue her education in the field of dance and movement therapy, at the Harkness Dance Centre. She has returned to Mumbai to share her passion for dance and wellness.

Dilshad Patel’s Classes

Dilshad’s dance and movement therapy class takes you through an invigorating movement experience. Stabilizing your core muscles and strengthening the body and mind from the ‘outside in’, the class builds self awareness and health through correction of movement and posture. Dance and movement therapy activities, along with breathing techniques and the Alexander technique help remove stress to energize you.

This unique class integrates structure through various styles of dance and encourages the mind and body connection through unstructured movement. Using elements such as effort, space, flow and time and various qualities of movement, students are encouraged to explore their bodies and emotions in relationship to their surroundings. Personalised training is available through group classes or private sessions.
