Name: Praveen Kumar

Hobbies: Dance, Listening to music

Profession: Dance, Dance and Dance

Hello Everyone…

I ain’t no batman,

 nor am I a Spiderman,

 I am just a common man,

 with dance as my appetite,

 and I am called  Praveen

No one can claim accurately how Dance began, I am just a messenger who got carried away in the river of dance, bending and flowing like it does, learning all along.

 I must have got bored with my feet if I were just running or walking all my life. My heart beats in sync with the rhythm of my dance numbers, so much is my love for dance.

Since my age of 12, even before I could learn to hold the compass to draw a circle, I was practicing how King of POP - Michael J             ackson circled on his toes.

 Every form of dance excites my senses and the thirst wouldn’t quench till I have lifted my feet for at least one step of the dance form. They say “When you give more you get more”, trust me no artist feels complete unless they pass on their skills and learning’s to others, and this is how art lives on. With Genesis I get this opportunity to groom another mind with the passion that I live with. At Genesis my purpose of being gets regenerated and refreshed each second.

“Judging” was never in my nature, But I have been humbly honored by the likes of schools like Shri Kumaran’s Public School, DPS, Valley School, Presidency School, St. Pauls School for being Invited as judge for numerous dance competitions held in their campuses.

Name: Naina Praveen

Hobbies:  Listening to music, Aerobics

Profession: Fitness Expert, Aerobics Trainer

Hi :),

I am Naina Praveen – In Arabic my first name Naina means Eyes. My friends insist that I should change it to Smiley Naina. I say Nah! I just love what my parents named me and so does my dance passionate husband Praveen.

My motto: Stay Fit and be Superhit

Fitness does not discriminate between ages, gender or nature. Everyone in today’s world full of “chaired” jobs needs to spare some time to use their bodies and minds in a sportive environment.  I have been heading the Fitness department of Genesis since the time of its inception.  A much needed qualification of Masters Degree in Food and Nutrition, Diploma in Physiotherapy helps me identify what is best for people who come to Genesis in search of “themselves”. 

Being an “Individual champion” myself in my schooling days I clearly can identify the benefits of good trainers in individual’s formative years.  And not just the sports aspiring kid but also the academic genius’s need to flex their muscles and weigh their bones to cope with the “A” grade expecting curriculum.

With 12 years of experience in the fitness industry including certifications from Reebok and Aafa I can responsibly say that the stressful lifestyles of today’s adults to be a cause for a lot of chronic pains and other ailments like Diabetes, high Blood Pressure, insomnia and innumerable number of diseases caused due to stress and anxiety.

Dance Batches

Dance is an art form that has no regional or religious boundaries, anybody who has the zeal and interest to drive their passions into reality can learn and perform dance. We teach dance to all age groups and gender. We segregate classes based on the age groups of our students.

Small Kids:

Kids ranging from the age group of 3-7 years, these are the little darlings who are just beginning to read the “A” in the Apple and the “B” in the Ball. This age group gets the maximum attention from our trainees. Our Trainers are well experienced to identify and conduct themselves in the most genteel manner so as to make their learning enjoyable. Our trainers have been instructed and inducted to deal with every behavior of this age group and make them understand in the most comprehending and easy manner just like a mother does to her child.

Batch Timings – Evenings, Weekends

Age Group – 3 to 7   years

Sub Juniors:

For Children’s ranging from the age group of 8-10 years, by this age group children’s are able to identify the music and quiet easily remember the steps that have been taught to them. Although there is little less handholding in terms of the steps and identifying the terminologies of dance, they still need a lot of guidance in the initial stages so as to get them accustomed to the dance steps. Our trainers teach them how to understand and identify the rhythmic sense of the dance. They are taught how music patterns are related to the dance movements. We teach them Freestyle dancing, Bollywood dancing, Hollywood dancing and many more dance forms.

Batch Timings – Evenings,Weekends

Age Group – 8 to 10   years

Juniors:  

Children’s ranging from 12-15 years get tagged to this group, At this age group in a metaphorical terminology they are the contenders or heirs to the thrones of the Empire of Dance. Apart from dance steps and musical rhythm they are trained to be expressive in every single step they take. Starting from the eyes, lips, cheeks to the teeth, everything that fits in the face is an ingredient to facial expressions and it becomes very important that they are trained to control and manipulate them in the most realistic manner. By this age groups Children’s have identified their special inclination towards certain dance forms and can pursue it further based on their personal choices

We teach them Freestyle dancing, Bollywood dancing, Hollywood dancing and many more dance forms.

Batch Timings – Evenings,Weekends

Age Group – 12 to 15   years

Working Class: 

There is no age group to restrict this class. In a humorous note, anyone who draws salary in their bank accounts, belongs to this group of dance enthusiasts. Sitting in their offices for more than 8+ hours a day makes life a little too boring as they age on, Adding to that is the stress, anxiety and depression which draws close as the office pressure builds on them. Well at Genesis we cannot reduce the pressure of their work nature, but we can demonstrate how dance can make them forget and keep aside these stress attracting thoughts by getting them to enjoy themselves by learning dance.

Batch Timings – Evenings,Weekends

Age Group – Working Class Adults

Ladies: 

Well the classification term is self-explanatory of whom it is meant forJ. Strictly no one else allowed!. With changing times and more independent society, women have grown confident in pursuing their careers to limits where only men were ticketed. Even with such flexibilities the stigma of shyness still continues to haunt a lot many in this gender. At Genesis we welcome all those who want to break free and be on their own. Away from the smell of Kitchen masala’s, the foam of detergents, the broom stick handles and of course the saddening “T.V. serials” J

At Genesis we teach and encourage ladies to fulfill their childhood dreams of dancing their heart out with our steps and rhythm.
