STORY BEHIND THE NAME
'Tarantismo' literally refers to the 'unconditional desire to dance!' The legend tells us that in the 15th century, in a small town called Taranto, people bitten by a venomous spider would break into frenzied dancing, leading to the term 'tarantismo.' In our belly dance class, we embrace this euphoric and fearless expression. Whether you’re joining a wedding choreography session or one of the belly dance classes in Bangalore, you’ll find that we all share a severe case of Tarantismo, dancing expressively and joyfully.

Anusha Hegde and Deepthi Shetty lead Tarantismo as the directors and senior choreographers, bringing over two decades of professional dancing experience to their renowned belly dance classes in Bangalore. Both are internationally acclaimed teachers and performers, ensuring that students receive top-notch instruction. The team consists of highly trained dancers, forming an all-women core group where dance is their primary role. They provide essential support across various departments of the company, including wedding choreography.
