Soma Kalb

Bollywood Dance Instructor

Soma studied Manipuri, Kathak, and Indian folk dance for over a decade with Guru Nabaghana Shyam Singha and Christel Stevens. As a member of the Nritya Rangam dance troupe, she performed at various culture shows and festivals along the East coast.

With an affinity for gymnastics since childhood and throughout college-where she performed with University of Maryland’s Gynkana Exhibtional troupe—Soma became a Redskins Cheerleader, effectively combining her love for dance and performance, as she dazzled tens of thousands of spectators with new routines every week.  

In addition to being a member of these performance groups, Soma has trained in ballet, hip hop, jazz and Bollywood at various studios in the Baltimore and DC metropolitan areas, as well as in the Triangle in North Carolina.  

When she’s not dancing, Soma balances her time between being a scientific reviewer for the Food and Drug Administration and being mommy to two toddlers. She has a BS in electrical engineering from U of MD, a MS in biomedical engineering from the Johns Hopkins University, and a PhD from Duke University. 

Soma joined the Born 2 Dance Studio faculty in 2011.
