Exploring life through the language of movement.
About
Gopal Dalami is a professional dancer, teacher, and aerial performer whose practice moves fluidly across disciplines and continents — from the stages of Edinburgh to the temples of Auroville.
Trained for five years at Voxpop Dancers India under Vikram Mohan, and for a year in aerial arts at Vertical Circus under Catherine Daniel, Gopal's work spans ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, Bollywood, contact improvisation, and his own evolving practices of Authentic Flow and Dance with Prana.
He has danced alongside A.R. Rahman, performed in Mira Nair's Monsoon Wedding Musical at the FIFA World Cup in Doha, and appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe and the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. He is also a certified massage therapist with a somatic approach — he understands the body from the inside out.

Teaching
Gopal has been teaching dance and movement for over a decade — in Auroville, Delhi, and internationally. His teaching rests on a simple belief: every body already knows how to move. His role is to help you remember.
He runs regular classes in contemporary dance, aerial silk, and contact improvisation, and leads retreats and workshops that weave movement with somatic awareness, breath, and authentic expression.
Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned mover, Gopal meets you exactly where you are.
A two-day immersive journey into the body through floorwork, improvisation, soft acrobatics, and animal movement.
Explore fluid transitions, grounded strength, and instinctive expression — moving between softness and power, control and surrender.
Come reconnect with your body, expand your movement vocabulary, and discover new pathways of expression.
Open to all levels — come as you are, move as you feel.
"Every body already knows how to move."
