With an unwavering passion for dance since the age of four, Neha has dedicated herself to mastering multiple dance forms, including hip-hop, contemporary, jazz funk, waacking, freestyle, Bollywood, and more. Her relentless pursuit of excellence has made her one of India\u2019s most promising young dancers.<\/p>\n<h3>A Journey of Dedication and Success<\/h3>\n<p>Neha\u2019s journey in dance began under the tutelage of the prestigious One Move Crew, where she trained for 12 years. Her dedication and perseverance bore fruit when she had the honor of representing India twice at the Dance World Cup in Europe, winning a silver medal for her country.
