Spin Academy was founded in Mumbai in November 2000. In February 2001 Spin Academy expanded its horizons by starting classes in Nasik and Devlali and it was here that the first live shows took place, with students performing along side their professional teachers.

As well as teaching thousands of students, the academy has always nurtured its instructors and assistants, many of whom started out as beginners themselves. Thus, Spin was able to expand under the expert eye of Akash Karnatki and his dedicated team. Since those early days in Nasik Spin Academy has given classes, workshops and professional performances in Baroda, Surat, Kanpur, Hyderabad, Gwalior, Pune, Kalyan, Mount Abu, Jodhpur and Ahmedabad. The rave reviews supplied by local and national media are always equaled by the glowing praise received from students, whether absolute beginners or experienced dancers.
