Initially an introvert, Priyanka, following her passion for dance, realized her true potential, and soon opened a dance studio to teach people the nitty-gritty of this art.

Priyanka Singh is the Director and Founder of Alisha’s Dance Studio. She belongs to Ranchi, Jharkhand.

Recalling her childhood, Priyanka says she did her schooling from Ranchi. She was always interested in dance as a child, and seeing her, her sister also followed in her footsteps. Her fondest memory is of her sister Alisha, who got selected for Boogie Woogie. Priyanka says that her father always encouraged her to pursue dance, but being an introvert, she couldn't take it forward. When her sister moved to Mumbai to pursue her passion for dance, Priyanka felt a strong voice within her to not let her passion go to waste.

Thereafter, Priyanka went to Mumbai and joined the Terence Lewis Academy, where she learnt different styles of dance like contemporary, jazz, and hip hop. While Priyanka had embarked on her dance journey, she met with a life tragedy, which led her back to her hometown. Priyanka lost her father, which was a traumatic moment for her. But she didn’t let this tragedy bog her down, and launched a dance studio in the name of her sister and has been teaching dance since then.

Sharing her pandemic experience, Priyanka says that just before COVID, she had launched two dance studios and enrolled more than 100 students. However, due to the pandemic, she incurred losses since everything came to a standstill.

Priyanka has also assisted her sister in choreography for Jhalak Dikhla Ja and done many corporate shows as well.

When asked about her role models, Priyanka says she draws inspiration from her mother, who spent her life in struggle to pave the way for her and her siblings. She wishes to walk in her mother’s footsteps. Priyanka is also inspired by the late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and admires him for his simplicity and down-to-earth demeanor.

Priyanka advises aspiring dancers to have the zeal and passion for dance and learn all the technical aspects of it. She suggests everyone take their culture with them wherever they go.

Besides dancing, Priyanka also likes to cook, workout, and explore different places. She is a nature lover as well as an animal lover.
