Production. Creative Direction. Casting. Community.
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Even though I hardly speak about it,i was the first Indian woman to actively perform and teach hip hop and house dance, literally starting as a kid and then revisiting it as a teenager at night clubs and videos and my twenties manifesting it into a career. My first love and continued love is freestyle club dancing and the raw energy it has.
I started India’s first all girl street dance crew in 2011 called Urbanista, we were active for a couple of years and performed at many events around the city and featured in numerous print and online articles some of which I will share on this page. I wanted to create a group that was inclusive at a time where all the auditions were catering to a certain look and body type and I wanted to encourage the younger generation of  dancers to take their dance destiny into their own hands creatively. I also wanted to showcase women performing dance styles like hip hop house waacking popping dancehall etc 
It was a labour of love for me and shared so many memories with @kezianna009 @payalbalse_hmu @direalsimsimma @gisellejohn25

Past curiosities - montage of some of the shows i choreographed and danced in for urbanista pre Instagram, so finally sharing on here.. by @move.curious

@move.curious presents - “The circle is” 

An Experimental Dance Film, directed and produced by Priya Lisa Gonsalves, made to accompany her All Female Street Dance Live Theatre Show via projection, and the actual dance clips of the live show have been added to the film. 

The clips of the live dance are from the Premiere Show from 2025 in Mumbai. The film is 30 minutes long and features 5 prominent female dancers from Street Dance India, namely Ambarin Kadri, Sri Lakshmi Muralidharan, Tejasvi Patil, Priya Lisa Gonsalves and  Mekhola Bose. The film is in black and white and is an homage to “ the circle”  in Street dance as well as the symbolism of the circle universally. It answers the question of why we dance and what the circle signifies. It is a labour of love and self funded, produced and directed. It is one of two properties - one being a live show and the other the film.

Dance video throwback .. almost 2 decades ago ❤️ life is so fascinating, the changes and the memories, staying the same but evolving, remembering Versions of ourselves, with love and curiosity, while our body changes ever so slowly but also so rapidly,we stop and imagine and recollect a time where everything was possible but transforming with the passing of time. Life is a whirlwind  of opposites, asking us to embrace it all and also who do you love and are you sure? 🤪 by @move.curious
