My Master Class Series is back!

Toronto dancers! I'll be hosting a Bollywood Master Class on November 15, 2015! This time, the style is going to be completely different from any of my other classes and I'm pumped to show you guys! Register here

It's here! If Bollywood were in Toronto...

What would happen if Bollywood were in Toronto? Obviously a LOT of dancing at the CN Tower, 3D Toronto sign, Ripley's Aquarium, and Dundas Square...in some Toronto/Raps/Jays gear (duh). We may or may not have gone to eat at a hot dog stand at some point while shooting this.... 
Thank you to the amazing team I had that made this video happen - Diving Film Studio for the amazing videography and direction, Safira Halani for the edit/graphics/brainstorming sessions/BTS footage/hours and hours of work (thank you so much for making this project what it is!), my BOYS Gowtham, Arnold, Rahim, Rohit, Rahul, and Mobeen for not only being awesome dancers, but making the shoot so fun, and Tobin for all your help on set!

Also a big thank you to Varun & the Bollyshake team for all their support!

Choreographing for Salim Sulaiman Live in Toronto!

I got to meet the awesome DiverseCity dance team when I judged at the Canadian Ismaili Games in Calgary. They got the amazing opportunity to perform at halftime for the Salim Sulaiman show live in Toronto, and asked me to choreograph their set! They're a team of such hardworking, young budding talents and KILLED my choreo. Congrats again guys and thanks for having me!

Schulich Funk!

Schulich Funk is here and has got me feeling all nostalgic! I got to work on and play lead in this awesome video for the Schulich School of Business (where I just completed my MBA degree). There are so many amazing things about the Schulich MBA - the best being the incredibly gifted and talented people I got to spend every day with. Thank you to Kareem Sami (the brains behind Schulich Funk) for asking me to play lead in this and all the faculty, staff, students, and MBA games team who starred in it! Enjoy!

My most requested choreography video!

The requests have been pouring in on my YouTube channel for this song, so I got together with one of my favourite Bollywood dancers, Pratik Marathe, to create this! 

Thank you to Soul Feet Dance Productions for letting me use the studio after my classes there to shoot this :)

Dance and tutorial videos below!


The Bollywood Master Class Series travelled to Calgary!

Over the weekend I travelled all the way to Calgary, Alberta to teach two SOLD OUT Bollywood master classes (pictured is class 1/2). It was so refreshing to see so many dancers that were so eager and enthusiastic to learn. A huge 'thank you' to Soul Feet Dance Productions for having me, and for being so easy and amazing to work with! Can't wait for more classes in Calgary soon! You can check out SFDP and all the cool stuff they do here.
It was LOVELY dancing with all of you ;) Stay tuned for the video!

My latest master class video - Imaginary by Imran Khan

I think this was the hardest choreography I've taught yet - but that's what a master class is for! Shout outs to all these amazing people who came out, gave themselves a challenge, and got out of their comfort zone. You all inspire me and motivate me to keep going.

I'm going back to Calgary!

My Calgary/Edmonton dancers! I'll be returning to Calgary after judging the CAIG 2015 Dance Competition - this time to teach a master class! The class is hosted by Soul Feet Dance Productions on Saturday, August 29. There are two sessions - 10:30am and 12pm (which I believe is already sold out). Email soulfeetdance@hotmail.com to reserve your spot! Can't wait to dance with you Cowtown :)

Update: Both classes SOLD OUT in just a few days! Thanks so much - I'm so excited to dance with you all! :):)

I'm judging dance at the Canadian Ismaili Games 2015!

I'm happy to announce that I'll be judging the Canadian Ismaili Games (CAIG) dance competition in Calgary! The show will take place over July 31 - August 2, 2015 with over 10 teams competing.

I judged the North American Ismaili Games (NAIG) in Chicago last year, and the teams put on an awesome show, so check it out if you're in the Calgary area :)

I'm Bollyshake's Dancer of the Week!

Thank you so much to Bollyshake for featuring me as their dancer of the week! Bollyshake is a really unique platform that I stumbled upon amidst a search for Bollywood dances online. It serves as a way to bring all types of Indian dance under one roof through video sharing. I wish something like this was around when I was growing up/training as a dancer because it provides a way for both professional and non-professional dancers to share their choreography and creative ideas with a community that values and loves Bollywood dance. If you haven't already, check them out/sign-up at www.bollyshake.com and check out my account at www.bollyshake.com/users/shereenladha. Can't wait to collaborate more with this awesome team!

Tum Hi Ho Choreography

I originally did this choreography for a gig, but my dancers were feeling it so much that we decided to film it nicely. Thanks to all these talented dancers and my videographer Safira Halani for once again making all my creative thoughts come to life. 

Like, comment, subscribe, and enjoy! :)
