What Our Students Say

I joined the semi classical dance class as a complete beginner, and I was quite nervous in the beginning. But over the past month, I’ve seen a lot of improvement in myself. I’ve started gaining confidence. Ashwini ma’am breaks down each step in a way that’s easy to follow. Her encouraging nature really helps boost our confidence.

Mahima

Being my first semi classical dance class, it was a truly enriching and memorable experience. The sessions were well-structured, starting with warm-ups and flexibility exercises that really helped in preparing the body for graceful movement and better posture. These foundational exercises made a noticeable difference in my balance and flow during the dance.
