"There are no shortcuts to success", preaches Terence. Each Company member has gone through the process of exhaustive training in the Jazz-ballet, Indian Classical and Folk, Contemporary and other allied performing art skills. Integrity and dynamism is the driving force behind the Company.
He has also done international musicals like 'The Children of the sea' and 'Finding Marina' with the Civil War and Tsunami affected children in Sri Lanka.
Specializing in corporate shows, fusions ensembles, Bollywood and Broadway musicals, Terence Lewis is a force to be reckoned with within the world of entertainment.
In recognition of his contemporary works, Terence Lewis was the first Indian to receive the prestigious Dance WEB Scholarship, representing India in Vienna, Austria. He is also a teacher at Impulstanz Festival at Vienna since 2007, teaching Bollywood and Indian contemporary dance. Trained both nationally and internationally and specialises in Indian folk, contemporary and neo-classical dance forms, it comes as no surprise that this young and talented choreographer sits as a judge on Dance India Dance for two seasons.
In 1999, Terence instituted Terence Lewis Academy (T.L.A), providing dance instruction through a variety of classes. Consecutively in year 2000, he founded the Terence Lewis Contemporary Dance Company (TLCDC) - the performing unit specializing in various dance forms. The TLCDC fosters a long term and definite vision which is to be the best in the industry and exceed client expectations, both creatively and professionally.
The company has 90 young, talented, energetic dancers on an exclusive contract, backed by an international faculty of teachers, physiotherapists, psychologists, nutritionists, fitness trainers and fashion stylists. TLCDC is regarded as a company thats takes show business seriously and is amongst the few which is able to meet international standards.
Thanks Jess for allowing us fans to have an appreciation thread for Terence :)
Terence you sure know how to make us fans feel so proud of you.
The TL Inc is also active in 'Community Work'. We believe that 'as you shall receive so shall you give'. The students will teach dance to street children, underprivileged children, for eg. at the St. Catherine's Home, Snehalaya, Sadhana School, Akanksha, Abhyudaya Nagar School.
We also will visit 'old age homes' and perform'charity shows' or also what we call 'Make Them Smile' shows, for e.g. Sneha Sadan, Alert India for Leprosy awareness, as we strongly believe in the 'therapeutic power of dance'.
