About this studio
Twinkle's Dance Academy teaches Bollywood and Indian classical dance to students aged 3 and up, as well as adults. The studio was founded in 2012 by Twinkle Madan Chadha, who trained in Odissi (Indian classical) and Bollywood styles through the Shiamak Davar Institute of Performing Arts. Chadha came to the US for her MBA at the University of Delaware, where she began choreographing community shows before launching TDA with just 3 students. The academy has since taught hundreds of students across the Tri-State area.
TDA operates from multiple locations: the main studio at 330 Corbitt Cir in Bear, Delaware, and additional teaching space at Little Stars Dance Studio (302 Fox Hunt Drive, Bear, DE) and Movement Collective in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The studio's mission is to create awareness of Indian culture, bring people together, and spread happiness through dance, with a focus on personalised learning tailored to each student's needs.
Classes are structured by age and skill level. Kids can start at age 3 and above, while adults have multiple batches available depending on their dance experience. The schedule varies by age group and skill level; the studio recommends contacting them directly for current class times. Regular session cycles include a 10-week spring session that begins in late January. Students dance barefoot and should wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement.
Beyond regular classes, TDA offers trial classes for new students, wedding and private event choreography, corporate workshops and performances, dance workshops led by visiting choreographers, and costume rentals for all ages. Recent events include a semi-classical dance workshop with renowned choreographer Jainil Mehta, the Lehenga Bollywood Dance Musical performance, and participation in the annual Holi celebration at the Hindu Temple of Delaware. The studio maintains extended hours Monday to Friday (5–9 pm), Sunday (4–9 pm), and offers appointments by request on Tuesday and Thursday.
