About Pop Mela

Revolutionizing Dance Choreography for All Occasions

In the world of celebration and festivities, dance is a universal language that brings people together, transcending cultural barriers and creating unforgettable memories. Yet, choreographing a dance routine, especially for a large group, has often been an intimidating and overwhelming task for many. Enter Pop Mela, a groundbreaking platform that emerged from an unexpected collaboration between two friends!

The Genesis of Pop Mela
It all began with an intriguing twist of fate. Punit, a technology entrepreneur with a keen eye for innovation, found himself facing an unusual challenge. He was tasked with orchestrating a dance performance involving 50 friends and family members for his cousin Vinay’s Sangeet event. The catch? Punit’s dance skills were far from exemplary, making the prospect of choreographing a performance slim to none.

In a moment of inspiration, Punit reached out to Anisha, a childhood friend and, accomplished dancer, with a lifelong passion for the art. Recognizing the need for a simpler and more accessible approach to dance choreography, Punit and Anisha embarked on a mission to transform the way people prepared and performed dances for special occasions.

The Birth of a Unique Platform
Pooling their talents and expertise, Punit and Anisha joined forces to create Pop Mela. Their idea was to leverage technology to demystify the choreography process and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their dancing abilities. With their combined skills in technology and dance, they set out to develop a platform that would streamline the process of learning and coordinating dance steps for group performances.

Pop Mela’s platform enables individuals to collaborate, practice, and perfect dance routines in a remarkably short span of time, often within 24 hours. What was once a nerve-wracking endeavor has been transformed into an enjoyable and rewarding experience, allowing even those with “two left feet” to shine on the dance floor.

She honed her skills in Bharatnatyam, various Indian folk styles, and Bollywood, eventually becoming an assistant instructor, sharing her passion with young learners. This zeal persisted through college, where she danced and later joined BollywoodFunk NYC Dance Company. Beyond the stage, Anisha’s talents led her to teaching middle school math and science, evolving into a pandemic-era public speaking instructor at Highest Speak.
