About The Dance Company

TNT (Taps & Turns)

TNT is a Tokyo-based dance company founded and led by Varun Manoharan, our Creative Director and Lead Instructor. Built on passion, creativity, and community, TNT brings people together through dance lessons, performance training programs, workshops, private coaching, and vibrant social events—both in Tokyo and online.

What started as a small initiative to share the joy of Latin and commercial dance has now grown into one of Tokyo’s most active international dance communities—celebrating diversity, learning, and artistic growth through movement.

At TNT, dance is more than performance—it’s a shared journey of growth, friendship, and creativity. Whether you’re taking your first step on the dance floor or refining your craft as a performer, TNT welcomes you to be part of a community that moves, learns, and celebrates together.
