Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, our inclusive and empowering space welcomes all ages and skill levels. At Canosom, every dancer is a performer in the making.
Pragya Shaw is the founder of Canosom Performers and a passionate dancer with over 12 years of training in Odissi, a classical Indian dance form. In addition to her classical background, Pragya has self-taught and performed various styles, including Bihu, Kathak, Bollywood semi-classical fusion, and Punjabi folk dance.
She has been dancing Bihu for the past 3 years and has been sharing her knowledge by teaching it for over a year. Her unique choreography blends tradition with creativity, allowing her to connect with audiences and students of all backgrounds.
Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Guelph, Pragya balances her academic life with her deep love for dance.
