How a passion for dance that began in Delhi in 2013 evolved into a career spanning performance, choreography, teaching and international dance education

A Journey That Began With Movement

Delhi has always been a city where cultures, ambitions and artistic expressions intersect. For Mohak Sharma, dance became a way to express himself, build confidence and connect with people.

What began as a personal passion in 2013 gradually developed into a professional journey spanning performance, choreography, teaching and dance education.

Today, Mohak is a Delhi-based dancer, choreographer and dance instructor working across Hip Hop, Commercial, Bollywood and Open Choreography. Alongside his offline teaching, he has also developed an online teaching journey that allows him to connect with students far beyond India.

“For Mohak, dance is not simply about movement. It is a continuous process of learning, teaching and connecting.”

The Beginning

Mohak began his dance journey in 2013.

Like many dancers, his early years were about discovering different styles, learning foundations and understanding what movement meant to him. Rather than limiting himself to a single form, he continued exploring different areas of urban and commercial dance.

Over time, this became a process of constantly learning, training and developing his own approach to movement.

For Mohak, becoming a better dancer has never been about reaching a point where learning stops. Training, observing other dancers, attending workshops and experimenting with choreography have remained important parts of his development.

Learning From Established Dancers

As his interest and commitment to dance grew, Mohak had opportunities to learn from dancers and choreographers whose work influenced his understanding of movement and performance.

His training and workshop experiences include learning from internationally recognised dancers such as Ian Eastwood and Phillip Chbeeb (Pacman), along with Indian dancers and choreographers including Reet Roy, Rakshit, Gini and Mayank.

These experiences exposed him to different approaches to:

• Musicality
• Choreography
• Dance foundations
• Performance
• Movement quality
• Individual expression

For Mohak, workshops were never simply about learning choreography for a particular song. They became opportunities to understand how professional dancers think, train and interpret music.

Experiences on Major Platforms

Mohak’s journey has also included experiences connected with major Indian entertainment platforms, including Dance+ and India’s Got Talent.

Being exposed to such platforms added another dimension to his development as a performer and introduced him to professional dance environments.

While performing has remained an important part of his identity, teaching eventually became equally meaningful.

From Student to Teacher

After years of training and developing his own experience, Mohak began focusing increasingly on teaching.

His offline teaching experience in Delhi has extended across approximately 10 years, while his online teaching journey has developed over the last 4 years.

Teaching changed the way he looked at dance.

As a dancer, the focus can often be on one’s own movement. As a teacher, the challenge becomes understanding another person’s movement, identifying where they are struggling and finding a way to explain a concept so they can understand it.

This became particularly important when working with beginners and younger students.

Mohak teaches both kids and adults, adapting his approach according to their level, experience and goals. His classes can range from foundational training to choreography and performance-oriented learning.

Taking Dance Beyond Delhi

In 2022, Mohak expanded his teaching through live online dance classes.

The idea was straightforward: students should not necessarily have to live in the same city as their teacher to receive structured dance training.

Through live online classes, Mohak began teaching students from different parts of the world.

His international students have included learners from countries such as:

Singapore · Indonesia · China · Scotland · United States · Canada · Kenya · Sweden · UAE · Australia

He has also worked with students across India, including Indians living abroad.

Teaching internationally introduced a new set of challenges. Students from different countries can have different schedules, learning environments and levels of previous dance experience.

Rather than seeing distance as a limitation, Mohak used online teaching as another way to create a direct connection between teacher and student.

More Than Just Choreography

Mohak’s teaching approach goes beyond simply teaching a routine.

Depending on the student’s level and objectives, his classes can cover:

Foundations · Groove · Musicality · Choreography · Freestyle · Performance · Confidence

For beginners, understanding the basics and becoming comfortable with movement can be more important than learning complicated choreography quickly.

For experienced dancers, the focus can move toward musicality, performance quality, choreography and developing individuality.

For children, dance can also become a way to develop confidence, discipline and comfort with performing in front of others.

This balance between technical development and personal growth has made teaching an important part of Mohak’s professional journey.

Building a Dance Community

Alongside his personal work, Mohak has been associated with The Movement Groove, a dance-focused platform through which he has continued developing his teaching and dance activities.

His work reflects an interest in making dance education accessible to students at different levels while maintaining a connection with the professional dance community.

His online classes have particularly allowed him to work with students who may not otherwise have access to specialised dance training locally.

A Versatile Approach to Dance

Mohak’s work brings together several styles and influences.

His teaching and choreography include:

Hip Hop · Commercial · Bollywood · Open Choreography

His broader dance training has also involved areas such as:

Popping · Locking · House · Chicago Footwork · Toprock · Foundations · Freestyle

This variety has helped him develop a broader understanding of rhythm, groove, musicality and performance.

Rather than treating dance styles as completely separate disciplines, Mohak views training across different forms as a way of becoming a more versatile dancer.

Social Media and the Modern Dancer

Social media has become another important part of Mohak’s journey.

Through platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, he shares choreography, freestyle, dance recreations and other forms of dance content.

For a modern independent dancer, social media is more than simply a place to upload videos. It can become a way to reach audiences, connect with dancers from other countries and introduce potential students to a particular teaching and performance style.

Mohak has also created dance content inspired by international dancers and dance crews, allowing him to participate in the wider global dance conversation while continuing to develop his own identity.

Inspired by the Global Dance Community

One example of this connection came through his recreation of a performance by Brotherhood Dance Crew from the IDL 2026 Los Angeles Series.

Brotherhood has been an inspiring dance crew for Mohak since the beginning of his own dance journey.

Recreating their performance was therefore more than simply creating another social media video. It was a way of acknowledging the influence that dancers and crews from outside India can have on another dancer’s journey.

The response from Filipino viewers to his Bebot-related dance content also demonstrated how dance can create connections between people who may live thousands of kilometres apart.

What Dance Means to Mohak

After more than a decade of dancing, Mohak’s understanding of dance has continued to evolve.

The journey has included learning, performing, teaching, experimenting, making mistakes and starting again.

For him, progress is not necessarily about becoming better than someone else. It is about becoming better than the dancer he was yesterday.

That philosophy has become particularly relevant through teaching.

Every student learns differently. Helping someone understand a movement they initially thought was impossible can be just as rewarding as performing on stage.

Progress isn’t always about being better than someone else. Sometimes, it’s about becoming better than the dancer you were yesterday.

Looking Ahead

Mohak’s journey is still developing.

His goals include continuing to grow as a dancer and choreographer, expanding his teaching internationally and creating more opportunities for students to learn dance regardless of where they live.

He also hopes to continue connecting with dancers and dance communities across countries through:

• Workshops
• Choreography
• Online education
• Collaborative projects
• International dance connections

For a dancer who began his journey in 2013, the path from learning his first movements to teaching students around the world represents more than professional growth.

It reflects what can happen when a personal passion is pursued consistently over time.

From Delhi to the World

Mohak Sharma’s story is ultimately a story about continuity.

A passion that began in Delhi has grown into a career that combines performance, choreography, teaching and international connection.

From learning different dance styles to learning from established dancers, from performing on major platforms to teaching students online, his journey demonstrates how dance can evolve from a personal interest into a profession—and eventually into a way of connecting people across borders.

From Delhi, Mohak Sharma continues to build a career where dance is not only something he performs, but something he teaches, shares and uses to connect with people across the world.
