Indian-Fusion Dance Academy was founded by Selvi Pragasam who completed her masters in dancing from the prestigious Kalaikaviri School of finearts in South India. Dance has been her life. After travelling several cities and countries in Europe and Asia for performances, she married and settled in the USA. Selvi founded IFDA in 2006 with a vision of developing it into a complete Indian fine-arts Mecca, offering classes in all Indian and fusion art forms under one roof.
IFDA right now offers classical, folk, Bhangra and Bollyfusion dance classes along with Carnatic music classes in Evergreen San Jose. The school's instructors are experts in the field of instruction, bringing with them experience and quality.
IFDA's classes are unique and bring in novelty in choreography by infusing modern dance techniques from all over the world and combining it with traditional dance styles.
IFDA also is an organization that gives back to the community through its charitable fundraisers and special need programs. There are classes for all age groups from 4 and above. IFDA is a close knit organization and IFDA's families share a very special bond.
