Instructors
We at Rocky Poonawalas are proud to have instructors trained to give their best to the students. Our instructors are so passionate about teaching and testimony to that is the rigorous training they undergo to reach to this stage. Rocky Poonawala, himself selects the students looking at the potential talent in them and trains them to teach. Knowing how to dance and knowing how to teach dance to others are two different ball games. Thus not every good dancer can teach well. They need to be trained to take a class and understand every students' nature and shortcomings inorder to see that the students learns the style the correct way. Hence be assured that these instructors really deserve to be instructors to teach these dance styles. To know more about instructor training check out for that section in 'Our Specials'. After learning all dance styles themselves and getting trained to handle different issues and nuances in a class, they make it a point that at the end of the class every student has learnt the dance, the way it should be.
