MOVEMENT BEYOND DANCE
Empowering you through movement, creativity, and self-expression.
Akshita, 12, Student
"Prerna mam is a very professional teacher. She gets what she has to do while still keeping the class fun. Her classes are never stressful and I've always looked forward to them. She is friendly and considerate. Prerna mam is extremely intelligent. She is good with children and adolescents. She is qualified in many fields and over all makes a great teacher."
Garima, Parent
"My daughter was just 6 when she started learning ballet from Prerna and six years later, she’s going strong in another country because of the strong foundation, support and encouragement she received from her teacher. Prerna is an excellent dancer and teacher, but more than that she’s a fierce advocate for her students. She’s passionate, dedicated and extremely professional. I can’t thank my stars enough for leading us to her. She’s just what my daughter needed to fall in love with ballet."
Aparna, Parent
"Miss Prerna is a very professional, trained dance teacher. She doesn't only teach dance but she also has in-depth knowledge about strength and body and the physiological impact that any exercise would have or any dance step would have. So, she also personalises dance steps and has a good intelligence to understand what goes in the learner's mind and mind as she is teaching. She is also very patient as well as she is not extremely, only output oriented but she encourages students to enjoy the process. so overall she is a very intelligent dance teacher as well as fitness trainer."
About Us
Finding Inspiration at Every Turn
The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped the world, and in response, we have evolved too.
We recognize the unique challenges children face today. Years of isolation have profoundly affected their mental and physical well-being, while increased screen time and online exposure have brought their own set of challenges. Free play—the most natural way for children to learn and express themselves—has become a rarity.
At The Movement Studio, we bridge these gaps. Our team of expert educators in childhood development, child psychology, and movement education is dedicated to creating safe, nurturing spaces—both online and offline. We believe in learning through play, art, dance, and creative expression, moving beyond rigid dance techniques to make movement and the dance arts accessible to all children, regardless of their abilities.
A recent addition to our offerings is Dance Movement Psychotherapy, a creative arts-based therapeutic approach that supports children's emotional and mental well-being.
Operating online since 2020, we continue to grow, refine, and enhance our programs each year. Connect with us to learn more—we’d love to hear from you!
Vision
We will be congruent, consistent, and genuine in our efforts to help every child under our care find their most authentic expression, gain mental and physical strength, and evolve into a whole, integrated personality.
Our Story
The Movement Studio was founded in 2017 with a clear vision: to pursue excellence in dance and movement training in every class.
As we evolved, especially in response to children's post-COVID needs, we expanded our offerings to provide even greater value. Moving beyond dance technique, we now offer integrated mind-body development programs designed to nurture both physical and emotional well-being.
How do we achieve this? By designing play and movement-based exercise programs, guiding children to explore their own unique movement expression, and introducing Dance Movement Therapy—a creative, therapeutic approach to support children's mental and emotional health.
Our mission remains the same: to empower children through movement, creativity, and self-expression.
Meet Your Trainer
About Prerna.
I started learning dance at the age of 8 and began teaching at 26. My training spans multiple disciplines, including Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Classical Ballet, Modern Jazz, and Contemporary dance. Additionally, I am a certified STOTT Pilates trainer and have led hundreds of sessions over the past decade. Since 2013, I have worked extensively with children and adolescents, combining movement, creativity, and education.
Recently, I became a certified Dance/Movement Psychotherapy practitioner and Play Therapist, and I am currently training to become a counseling psychologist. As both an artist and educator, I naturally integrate creative arts into my therapeutic work. At the same time, my background in therapy allows me to bring a deeper, more intentional approach to dance and movement education—helping children develop not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well.
In my work with children, I blend my expertise in movement, exercise, mindfulness, child psychology, and creative arts to create a holistic mind-body fitness program. I design my sessions with a deep understanding of children's developmental milestones—cognitive, physical, and social—ensuring they are engaging and developmentally appropriate. Art, journaling, and sharing circles are integral to my approach, encouraging children to connect with their inner selves and express their authenticity and strength.
