Aparajita B.

I am a contemporary dance choreographer, teacher and practitioner. I began my professional training at the age of 16, in the year 2010, with Ashley Lobo’s “Danceworx Academy” in New Delhi. I trained there for a period of 3.5 years and learned forms like lyrical jazz and contemporary. In the year 2013, I decided to join one of my teacher’s dance company – “Art in Motion” that was predominantly a modern dance company. I learned various techniques like Graham, Cunningham and Limon. However, our major focus was Horton. I trained and performed with them for a period of 2 years, during which I did two professional shows in the year 2014.

In 2015, I decided to branch out and explore myself as a dancer independently. I attended Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company’s summer intensive in July, went to Bangalore (India) to train with “Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts” for a month and finally went to Italy to attend the NOD program where I got an opportunity to train under dancers from the Batsheva Dance company, L-E-V, Hofesh Shecter etc.

Since 2016, I have been more inclined to choreography and have been working towards building my own choreographic repertoire under the name "Vibgyor". I have traveled with my work to Mumbai and Bangalore - where we got an overwhelming response. I have also recently opened my own dance studio in Sector 45, Gurgaon called "Redanse studios" where we work on the philosophy of building a community rather than just giving classes.
