CHOREOGRAPHER | DANCER | TEACHER
BACKGROUND
Having danced professionally since 1998, Prosenjit Guy Kundu has been actively involved in the
Underground Dance Scene for 2 decades. Born in France, Prosenjit, who is of Bengali-Indian and
French descent discovered the art of hip hop dancing in 1990, at the mere age of 15. Two years later at
17, he stumbled upon a D.C. house club by the name of Trax and fell in love with the energy and flow
of house dance. On turning 18, he attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia,
where he acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Dance and Choreography. By day, he formally
trained in the dance forms of Ballet, Modern, Jazz, Tap and African at VCU and by night was pursuing
dance styles such as Breakdancing, House, Hip Hop, Popping and Locking at underground clubs.
After his schooling, he moved to New York City to fuel his fervor for dance and mold his visions.
Prosenjit began teaching workshops at studios throughout Manhattan while simultaneously working as
a professional dancer.
INDIA
Being Half Indian, Kundu always wanted to delve deeper into his roots and visit the homeland of his
father and contribute socially through his love for Street Dance Styles.
Prosenjit moved to India with this vision in December, 2005 and was the very first individual to
introduce and teach styles such as B-boying, House, Popping, Locking and Old School Hip Hop into
the collective dance culture.
At the time there were a handful of dancers in India who were aware and interested in Street Dance.
He is accredited by most of the countries pioneering B-boys and Hip Hop/House dancers as being
instrumental in kick starting what can now only be called a dance phenomenon spreading in India.
Kundu spent unpaid hours teaching kids and creating awareness about these forms even initializing the
then unfamiliar idea of a "crew".
The first ever b-boy crew consisted primarily of his original students like B-boy Ninja from Slumgods,
B-boy Simon from Roc Fresh and B-boy Young Soul from Freak n Stylz.
Kundu is well loved and respected by all the dancers in India for spending time in and out of India
dedicating his time to consistently creating an underground dance scene.
Kundu is a judge on India’s First Ever Street Dance Television Show called Footloose on Channel V.
