Swifties and Sheerios, this YouTube channel (62.8K subscribers) is a gold mine. They have videos on how to dance to You Are In Love and Perfect. There’s no cheesy song they haven’t worked into ballroom choreography. (Yes, Annie’s Song and the Bridgerton version of Wildest Dreams too!) Plus, tricks about spinning and dipping your dance partner, and avoiding common missteps.

For noobs. Some 89.8K subscribers follow the YouTube channel for tips on movie-worthy routines for prom, weddings and other events. The videos are devoted to useful tips: Where exactly to place your hand on your partner’s back, even with consent, how to land a decent dip, what not to do on the dance floor, and basic shuffles. There’s also a party section, teaching the basics of salsa and bachata.

Mumbai choreographers Nicole and Sonal offer step-by-step YouTube tutorials aimed at desis and foreign enthusiasts. They teach Bollywood, hip-hop and belly dance moves, but the views for Tere Bina, Humma Humma and Nashe Si Chad Gayi indicate that their 5.13M subscribers are drawn to sangeets. Not prepping for a performance? They also have Dance Cardio lessons.

Pop, lock, and bring the house down with moves from this LA couple. They have 2.3M followers on Insta, and break down hip-hop and break-dance moves for those who have never tried any street forms. They usually stick to instrumental music and experiment, but are not above setting moves to a viral ringtone. Respect!

On Instagram, dancers Kamna and Utsav help viewers steal a few easy, filmy group moves from celeb weddings (including Kiara Advani’s and the Ambani receptions). Their archive online has 205K followers, and the most popular posts feature songs from Dil Dhadakne Do and Aisha. There are options for solo performances and the more traditional Padharo and Jamai Raja Ram Mila too.

Delhi dancer Anusha’s Insta page has 118K followers, and she draws from recent events such as the Taapsee Pannu-Mathias Boe wedding to keep moves fresh. With multiple dancers coming in and going out of the frame in every video, her tutorials offer an idea of what a routine would look like on stage, and on a phone screen. Ideal for sangeets or a flash mob, in case you’re looking for fun proposal ideas.

Learn a little flair and romance from the Polish. This YouTube channel, run by Magdalena Targoni-Firlej, has 182K subscribers and is clearly aimed at the couple’s first dance. The songs are popular (Until I Found You is a top-viewed video), and she helpfully posts multiple guides to the same song, so dancers can pick the skill level they’re comfortable with. We love how tastefully each video is. Their outfits are white-wedding goals too!

If you’re looking for the perfect solo, let Nashik choreographer Shivani Goyal Bhartiya play guide. She offers graceful and powerful dance moves to songs such as Meri Zindagi Mei Aaye Ho and Le Gayi Le Gayi, for the ladies. For couples, there’s Gal Mitthi Mitthi. Obviously her 98.4K Insta followers love Bollywood, but also regional styles from Gujarat and Kerala. We love her options for the bridal entry on stage or in a song sequence.

For his 86.6K Instagram followers, the bhangra choreographer breaks down the moves to popular Punjabi songs (Sidhu Moose Wala, Diljit Dosanjh and Gurdaas Maan) bit by bit, slowing down on the more complicated squats and spins. Think of him as a gym instructor but with a lot more coordination. Singh also choreographs group performances which seem like a riot, complete with facial expressions.

Remember when mash-ups were a thing? On this Insta page, they still are.
