For Binal, dance has always been her medium of expression. She has always felt an inner drive to move, to create, to express and has always strived to achieve a moment of self-contentment through movement. She started her dance training in Bharatanatyam at the age of 5 and continued to train for 7 years, performing her Arangetram at the age of 12. Later, Binal trained in Ballet, Tap & Jazz under Oscar Unger for 2 years. In 2007, she started her training in Contemporary, Ballet and Jazz Dance at Terence Lewis Contemporary Dance Company (TLCDC) for 3 years, wherein she was exposed to various Contemporary Dance techniques like Graham & Release. She then performed in a production titled “Wonkot” which debuted at NCPA, Mumbai in July 2013. She has also performed a devised piece titled “Everybody has a secret”, at Shoonya Dance Residency in Bangalore, among many others. She believes that the aim of dance is to ‘celebrate’ and to feel one’s inner sense of being.
