BEATOLOGY
Drumroll please; presenting a Dhol group with a difference
What makes you different?
“We’ve learned the art from some of the best names in the country, and we practice all the time to keep us sharp. Clients say our energy is infectious and we look like we’re having a great time - which of course, we are.”
What do you love about weddings?
“Seeing guests, young and old, get off their seats and really going for it on the dance floor. We also love entrances where the groom’s family and friends dance him in on his special day.”
What’s the best thing you’ve done?
“Some of us were asked to play for Indian PM Narendra Modi at his 2015 UK visit. It was incredible playing to a crowd of 60,000 at Wembley Stadium.”
What are your most popular requests?
“We’re asked to play everything from Bollywood to Bhangra, but also hits like Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You, Despacito and Apache by The Sugarhill Gang.”
Why should couples book you?
“We don’t charge silly prices, but that doesn’t mean we compromise on quality or presentation. We believe the drama of the Dhol should be an option for everyone, whatever their budget.”

PRAVEENA
Tackle First Dance nerves with a seasoned choreographer
How many lessons does it take to master a dance?
“It depends on your confidence level, prior experience and ultimately your passion. I can gauge confidence after the first class, and we’ll plan lessons accordingly. Confidence comes with time; I’ve worked with couples who dread getting on the dance floor but leave dancing all the way home!”
But I’ve got two left feet!
“Dance is supposed to be fun; you’re shouldn’t feel overwhelmed. If someone is struggling, I’ll slow down. It’s about achieving your best and being at ease.”
What styles do you teach?
“I’m trained in Bharathanatyam, Bhangra, Gaana and Bollywood. I also teach contemporary, hip hop and jazz. When it comes to weddings, clients love a mix.”
Why should couples hire you?
“I love weddings! They’re the best, and being able to help couples through my ultimate passion, dance, is so rewarding. I give couples the freedom to chose what they want, and support them with my dance expertise. It’s their day. That said, I also give couples the chance to explore styles, songs and themes that they may have not considered. My ultimate goal is to have fun and give them confidence to dance more in the future.”
