Taking off her shoes in front of a prestigious panel, Hollywood director Laura Terusso & choreographer Aakomon & performing Garba & Bhangra to a Chris Brown song & a standing ovation later is exactly how this Gujarati girl from a middle-class family in Mumbai bagged a role in a Warner Brothers and Alicia Keys produced dance film Work It, starring Sabrina Carpenter, Lisa Koshy, and Jordan Fisher,\u00a0<\/em>slated to release worldwide on Netflix this August.<\/p>\n

\"EXCLUSIVE:<\/p>\n

After having assisted choreographers for reality dance shows back in India, Indiana flew to Toronto, Canada looking for a promising career in dancing after having graduated from World’s No. 1 Musical theatre school ‘Laine Theatre Arts’ with alumni like Victoria Beckham & after a long hustle & some odd jobs landed her first Hollywood debut Work It.<\/p>\n

Ecstatic about her first deserving break, Indiana shares her journey, “I’d sent in a dance video & managed to get shortlisted for a real audition. I was nervous. I was used to rejections so I went in anyway. I went full out during my performance & hoped for the best. Towards the end of the audition, Aakomon asked if anyone wanted to showcase any different style of dancing. I was sure to not be able to match the level of flips, locking, popping & didn’t want to embarrass myself. But later I took my shoes off, jumped right in at the very last moment & impressed the judges with Garba, Bhangra & some Jazz-funk. I got a standing ovation & I later was called in to read for a role. I cleared all rounds, I got the news last May. It was 2 am in India, I woke my parents up & we couldn’t stop crying.’<\/p>\n

Indiana shares, “My parents let me spread out my wings & let me choose dance as a career & supported me throughout. The journey to the way up there was full of roadblocks but dreaming & consistently working towards your goal does pay off. So start where you are, use what you have & do what you can..”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
