Our talented Dance Artists will guide you to become the inspirational dancer or entertaining host you've desired.
Nithya Remesan
Founder and Artistic Director
Nithya Remesan, a perfectionist in Indian dancing brings to Melbournians an opportunity to learn the dance that has taken Australia by storm! Bollywood Dancing!! Nithya has extensive experience in Indian Classical and Folk Dancing and a passion for perfecting the art of Classy Bollywood Dancing.
At the age of 3, Nithya began learning the Indian Classical Dance, Bharathanatyam. She also expanded her talents into the realms of Calisthenics and another Indian Classical Dance, Kuchipudi. She has choreographed and performed a vast variety of Indian dances at numerous cultural functions and created her first dance troupe at age of 16. Such a diverse dancing experience and knowledge has given her the base and foundation to become not only a fabulous Indian Dancer, but a passionate teacher and choreographer. Nithya has degrees in Animal Science & Accounting and is happily married and a proud mother of two boys.
Venoth Kumar
Choreographer and Artist
Venoth (in short, Ven) found Natya Bollywood in August 2007 while searching for an avenue to expose his talents. He volunteered to join the Natya Bollywood team in April 2008 and Nithya welcomed him warmly. Venoth started his dancing when he was in kindergarten. From then on it has been a never ending journey into the world of dancing for him. Though he had no formal training, his own interest and passion in dance created a niche for himself. He performed various dance shows and won many dance competitions.
And now, he enjoys choreographing and teaching Bollywood dance to Adults at Natya Bollywood. Venoth also likes the company of the good people at Natya Bollywood and has a lot of fun dancing, choreographing, teaching and conducting stage shows.
Choreographer / Dance Instructor and Artist
Umamagheswari Chandru (Uma) was introduced to Natya Bollywood by her best friend Venoth Kumar (Ven). Dance has always been a huge part of her life. Uma started dancing at the age of 10 years old and has continued ever since.
The desire to be better at dancing and putting up an entertaining show has immensely grown. Natya Bollywood has guided her to become a good dancer, choreographer and teacher. With valuable knowledge and experience to share with the eager students of Melbourne, it seems there is no stopping her dancing, teaching and performing dreams from coming true.
Choreographer / Dance Instructor and Artist
Harish Madhavan (Maddy) joined Natya Bollywood in May 2011. At age 15 he joined a leading dance school in Chennai (formerly Madras). In less than 6 months, he became one of the main dancers of the school's dance team. During this time, he started teaching dance to fellow students and became one of the dance trainers in the same school at the age of 16. He has taught students from age 6 to 60.
Harish is now a professional Bollywood dancer and has performed various dance shows. He is comfortable in various styles of dances - Bollywood, Indian folk, variety, hip hop with a hint of Ballroom and Latin styles as well. After a brief break, on moving to Melbourne, he regained his passion back through Natya Bollywood. While pursuing his career in Civil Engineering, he enjoys dancing and teaching Bollywood dance to Adults at Natya Bollywood.
Admin Assistant / Dance Artist
Mia came across NB in a desperate attempt to find a challenging yet fun place to emerse myself into bollywood music. After having travelled to India she realised when she came back to Melbourne that she missed it so much. Before starting at NB, Mia had no prior knowledge of Indian dance loves the fact that one can pick it up without being a professional dancer.
At the moment Mia is a student at Monash studying arts and in her free time she dances for NB. NB has given Mia the opportunity to be more involved in the dance style that she loves.
