Buskers

What Buskers does

Buskers is a private dance instruction institute headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, founded in 1995 by Brijesh Saxena and Hemendra Singh Gajawat. The institute operates 10 branch locations across Jaipur and teaches four primary dance forms — Contemporary, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Bollywood — with Salsa available on special demand. Its curriculum is structured into four progressive tiers: a 3-month Beginner Course for novice students of all ages, a 1-year Intermediate Course for skill development, an audition-gated BADC (Buskers Advanced Dance Course, minimum 2 hours daily) for aspiring professional dancers, and a 1-year DCB (Diploma in Choreography by Buskers) program covering choreography, event planning, lighting, and audio/video editing. The institute employs 25+ specialized instructors and operates three signature in-house events annually: Fusion (student showcase running since 1995), D'Fest (inter-school competition), and BADC Show (advanced students' performances). The institute claims to have trained more than 10,000 students and provided a showcase platform to approximately 25,000 students via Fusion since inception.

Buskers generates revenue predominantly through course fees on a recurring, enrollment-based basis, supplemented by professional-services revenue from corporate dance classes, wedding choreography, event crew hire (Hire Busker's Crew), and recurring choreography for the Hongkong Indian Annual Show. Enterprise past engagements include MTV, Star India, Y-Films, YM Movies, Wildcraft, Bajaj, Samsung, Cadbury, and Amul, primarily for commercial choreography and crew supply. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: students enroll at physical branch locations throughout the year in evening hours, with pricing not publicly disclosed and enrollment requiring direct branch contact. Marketing relies on Instagram (buskersjaipur), in-house events, student testimonials, and word-of-mouth referral. The business is founder-owned, has no external investment or parent company, and operates exclusively within Jaipur with no disclosed geographic expansion plans, app or digital platform, and no disclosed AI/ML technology stack beyond traditional in-person instruction methodology.

Emerging players

• Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography: India-based kathak-focused dance academy offering structured courses and choreography services. Comparable as a founder-led Indian dance institute with a multi-tier curriculum and DCB-equivalent diploma offerings, but narrower in genre (classical-focused vs. Buskers' western/Bollywood mix).
• Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts: Bengaluru-based contemporary dance institution focused on movement arts, professional training, and international touring productions. Comparable on advanced/professional-tier dance training and event performance, but less overlapping on beginner courses and Bollywood/commercial choreography.
• Delhi Dance Theatre: Delhi-based contemporary dance training and performance outfit offering workshops, classes, and productions. Comparable on advanced-level training, performance showcase model, and choreography services, though smaller and more contemporary-focused than Buskers.

Direct peers

• Bounce Academy: Mumbai-based dance academy and event company with classes in multiple forms (hip-hop, contemporary, Bollywood) plus production and crew-hire services. Strongly comparable to Buskers on the combination of in-studio education and commercial choreography/crew work for brands and productions.
• Shiamak Davar International (SDIPA): India's largest celebrity-led dance academy chain, founded by choreographer Shiamak Davar. Directly comparable as a multi-city dance education and choreography brand with celebrity prestige, multiple dance forms, and an events/choreography service line — operating at a far larger geographic scale than Buskers.
• Terence Lewis Dance Academy: Celebrity-choreographer-led dance academy offering contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, and Bollywood training across Indian cities with both classroom and online formats. Directly comparable on celebrity-brand-driven dance education and multiple dance-form curriculum.
• The Danceworx (Ashley Lobo): Founded by choreographer Ashley Lobo, The Danceworx is a multi-city Indian dance academy offering contemporary, jazz, ballet, and Bollywood courses with performance opportunities. Closely matches Buskers on curriculum breadth, instructor quality, and brand-driven positioning.
• Narthana School of Dance: Chennai-based established dance academy offering classical and contemporary forms with structured beginner-to-advanced progression. Comparable as a heritage, multi-form Indian dance school, though with a stronger classical/film orientation than Buskers' western-heavy curriculum.
