Vineet and Sahiba founded The Dance Factory with a vision to create an institute that nurtures quality artists whose talent and skill is their own certificate in dance. Vineet is an engineer by qualification and a dancer by passion. His partner in crime, Sahiba has successfully found a way to merge her love for dance and her training in fashion designing. While Vineet handles all business aspects of the Company, Sahiba is the creative edge. Together the duo aims to provide a platform to all talented dancers in the country to make a career of this art form. In their own words… “If you have the passion we will show you the way.”
The Dance Factory has separate faculties for each dance form ensuring all instructors are masters of their respective genres. The duo themselves are heading the Latin department with over a decade of dancing and teaching Salsa together. They have taught and performed at various events in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Goa, Pune and Surat and in festivals across the globe including Istanbul, Antalya, Greece, Cyprus, Germany, Paris, Malaysia, Bangkok, Bali, Sydney, Dubai, Slovenia, Croatia to name a few. Their website : http://www.thedancefactory.co.in/
