Profile
Born on 31st October in Mumbai, choreography comes naturally to Seemaa Desai and has been in her genes, thanks to her parents who have also been choreographers. Her mother, the late Shrimati Indumati, was a classical exponent and was among the few who incorporated classical, semi classical dance to Bollywood songs successfully. Seemaa was trained by the late Tulsi Master for semi classical and Bharatnatyam dance. While studying in Mithibhai College she got a platform to perform and dance and was introduced to different genres of dance like Bollywood dance, rock n roll, flamenco, folk, western fusion etc which soon became her passion.

She was then selected to join choreographer Farah Khan and Lollipop's dance troupe where she got an opportunity to perform next to Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Juhi Chawla, Raveena Tandon, Sridevi, Sanjay Dutt and many more and travel the world along with the stars. Soon the determination to excel in film making and choreography took over and she went on to study ad film-making, advertising and public relations. She worked for BR Films under Mr. Ravi Chopra as an assistant director to be trained in the technical side of ad film-making. She has worked on prestigious ad film projects like Clinic All Clear with Saif Ali Khan, Emami with Sonali Bendre, Tata Tea, Rasna, Lux etc. with directors of cinematography like Ashok Mehta, Binod Pradhan, Barun Mukherjee.

It was soon time to put her dance and direction skills together. She started independently choreographing for Paritosh Painter's musical theatre performances. She has successfully choreographed music videos for T-Series, Tips (Adnan Sami), Jal Boondh and many more...

One thing lead to another and Seemaa went on to choreograph various television shows. She is currently choreographing for the popular show 'Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chashma' for their special dancing episodes. She has also choreographed Hrithik Roshan for his ad film and the cast of Rohit Shetty's comic caper 'All the best' for a promotional commercial on ESPN.
