The Opportunity

Event organizers struggle to find experienced choreographers who can blend international and local cultural elements while managing complex logistics, timing, and production coordination for stadium-scale shows.

Business Model
B2B service business offering full choreography packages: creative direction, dancer recruitment/training, rehearsal management, live coordination, and post-event documentation. Price per project: ₹15-40 lakh depending on scale and artist caliber.
1) Core choreography fees (₹15-40 lakh per major event), 2) Dancer training and recruitment (₹3-8 lakh per batch of 50+ dancers), 3) Licensing choreography designs to smaller events/corporate functions (₹50-200k per license)
