every step carries meaning, helping me connect not only with the movement but also with my inner self,
culture, and roots.What begins as learning footwork gradually transforms into a journey of devotion,
self-discovery, and
belonging. The school beautifully encourages us to understand the traditions, values, and spiritual
essence

was
the perfect place to learn it professionally. The detailed breakdown of every step and the constant
encouragement from the instructors make learning enjoyable. What truly sets SSGD apart is its culture of
dancing together as one group throughout all nine days of Navratri, something rarely seen in Mumbai.

"Dance has been my love since childhood. I’m lucky to come from a dance family — my mom is
a
beautiful dancer and she wanted me to learn Garba with pure authenticity and traditional roots.
That’s why she chose SSGD for me. Today I have completed all 5 levels, and I play Garba all 9 nights with
perfect garba moves.
Big thank you to all my teachers of SSGD, Jigar Sir & Surhad Sir for guiding me through this journey.
Still
learning, still growing, still dancing with my heart.
Thank you 😊
Jai Ambe🙏🏻"

"This journey began 5 years ago when I and my husband set out to learn a dance form -
Garba.
We started with SSGD, one step at a time. Slowly we embraced the techniques, tradition, rhythm and
devotion. Since then SSGD has become our second family.
At SSGD, I found the perfect combination of Culture, Dance and Attitude."
