They are currently active only on social media.


Split Sole Dance Academy (SSDA) instructors talk on how they prefer social media to promote their academy:

Everyone from the academy finds social networking sites faster and friendlier.

Mrigakshi Jaiswal, dance instructor of SSDA regularly updates videos and pictures of her classes and posts notifications for members about upcoming workshops and batch timings.

“The Facebook page has become the landing page for most of our students, where they ask us about dance classes and timings, among others. Plus, it’s easy to maintain and update,” says Jaiswal.

                                                     

SSDC in the news:

They interact with the students on twitter and facebook on each and every query and everyday. They upload pictures of their show on the website or twitter, facebook itself
They interact with the audience, students. play interactive games on each sites etc




Social media is the best way to interact with the audience and keep the audience happy always but a bit of promotional activities and advertisement is necessary. SSDC is a big hit on promoting themselves through social networking sites

He was also a part of ABCD, directed and choreographed by Remo Dsouza. He played the lead role of the movie.


He has directed Ramaiya Vasta Vaiya, Rowdy Rathore ,Wanted..this proves that a choreographer needs to be a choreographer and not a director. Bad move. He was seen performing in few songs of these movies.
