Pop-Up Dance Class with Vicky Arya in Gurgaon: Learn the Choreography at Off Grid Dance Studio

The short version

If you have been searching for a hip hop dance workshop in Gurgaon and finding ticketing pages with no detail, here is the detail. On Sunday 4 October, Off Grid Dance Studio hosts a two-hour pop-up class with guest choreographer Vicky Arya at its studio in Sushant Lok 1. The choreography is already set; the preview above is the routine you will learn. The fee is ₹1,000 per person if you book before the day and ₹1,200 on the spot, and you book by messaging the studio on WhatsApp.

Off Grid is a working dance studio, not an event company. The same floor runs ten batches a week across Jazz, Hip Hop, Kids and Heels, and pop-ups bring in choreographers who do not teach here every week. This one follows a run of weekend workshops at the studio: K-pop, then two semi-classical sessions.

What actually happens in the two hours

A pop-up is built differently from a weekly class. In a weekly batch you build technique over months. In a pop-up you take one routine from zero to performance-ready in a single sitting, which means the two hours are structured tightly:

• Warm-up and groove. Ten to fifteen minutes to get the body moving and the bounce of the track into your legs.
• The choreography, section by section. Each eight taught count by count, slow first, then at tempo, then joined to the previous one. Nobody moves on until the room has it.
• Cleaning. Texture, timing, where the weight sits, when a move is sharp and when it melts. This is where a choreographer's style gets into your body, and why people travel for a pop-up.
• Full runs. The routine top to bottom, in groups, with the music, so you leave having actually performed it.

Most people film the final run for themselves. Bring a friend to hold the phone, or ask, and someone will.

Who this is for

Anyone who can move and wants the routine. The choreography is taught from the first eight, and the room at Off Grid is always a mix: people who have trained for years next to people who walked in for the first time last month. If you train in the studio's weekly Hip Hop batches, this is the obvious weekend to add on; if you have never taken a class, it is a very good first one, because you leave with something finished.

If you are unsure whether it is pitched right for you, ask on WhatsApp before you book. You will get a straight answer.

Why a pop-up is worth the early bird

A guest choreographer brings a style the studio's own faculty does not teach week to week, and a pop-up is usually the only chance to train with them in Gurgaon that season. Two hours with a new teacher does three things a regular class cannot: it shows you how someone else counts and phrases music, it puts a finished piece in your body in one afternoon, and it tells you quickly and honestly which direction you want your own dancing to go. The early bird price exists so the studio knows its numbers; book before Sunday and it is ₹200 cheaper.
