Dr (h,c) Ria Meera Munshi

Welcome to the official channel of Dr Ria Meera Munshi — TEDx Speaker, Guinness World Record Holder, and Honorary Doctor of Arts.

I’m a Manchester-born multihyphenate artist, entrepreneur, and the proud Artistic Director of Ri Ri’s Dance Academy. My life is a vibrant tapestry of Indian dance, acting, modelling, presenting, and cultural entrepreneurship — all rooted in a deep love for storytelling and representation.

This channel is made up of little chapters and moments from my personal and professional life — from behind-the-scenes glimpses of choreography and creative projects, to reflections on identity, adversity, and the joy of movement to travelling to Bali just before COVID-19!

Whether I’m performing on global stages, speaking at TEDx, choreographing for screen, or simply sharing a quiet moment of reflection — my mission is to connect, inspire, and celebrate our shared humanity.

Let’s dance through life together.
With love,
Dr Ria Meera
