About Me
Savitha Sampath was born and raised in Chennai, where she grew up surrounded by music, movement, and creativity. At the age of three, she performed her first ever dance at her preschool annual day, stepping into the world of dance with curiosity. That early spark soon grew into a lifelong passion.
While in school, Savitha was given the chance to choreograph a routine for her school’s annual day and taught the steps to a small group she performed with. From that moment, she fell even more in love with dance, spending every day after school moving to music, practising steps, and exploring new styles. Dancing became a constant part of her life, helping her build confidence, stamina, and a deep sense of joy that carried her through childhood and beyond.
Alongside school and college performances, Savitha joined a dance academy and began performing at events beyond academic platforms. She later started her professional dance journey with The Swingers Dance Company in Chennai, under the training and mentorship of Prasanna Kumar, founder and artistic director of the company. During this time, she trained extensively and assisted several classes, developing herself both as a performer and a teacher. With Swingers, she trained and taught across multiple styles including Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Bollywood and partnering styles such as Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, and other partnering styles. She also taught Zumba classes, bringing her energy and passion to a wide range of students. As part of her journey with the company, she taught students from ages 3 to 60 and above.
Savitha actively performed at school events, college culturals, and corporate shows, and won several solo competitions at leading colleges in Chennai. Performing regularly from a young age helped shape her confidence, discipline, and strong foundation in dance.
Savitha later became the first BollyX Certified Instructor in the UK, holding certifications in BollyX Adults, BollyX Low Impact, and BollyX Kids. During the 2020 pandemic, she adapted to online teaching and received immense support from participants who found her sessions motivating and uplifting.
Today, through Dezire Dance, Savitha continues to inspire students to discover their rhythm, build confidence, and develop a lasting connection with dance.
