Viscosity has classes in various styles of dance forms like Street Jazz, Jumps and turns, Jazz Fusion, Improve Jam for the first time in Chennai. They also teach zumba, salsa, contemporary and Hip Hop.

Talking to CE about the academy, Kumar says, “People are now a lot more aware of the various kinds of dance. Earlier, the most sought after dance were street styles like hip hop, but now people are eager to experiment and learn something altogether new. Viscosity is looking at making dance more simple.
