Testimonials
"As my first adventure into classical Indian dance I could not have asked for a better experience. Challenging and elegant, Nithya provides a terrific combination of expertise, deeply rooted education into a beautiful culture and a fun dance class. It does not get any better than this!" - Suzy W.
"As someone who has very little dance experience, I feel really comfortable in Nithya’s class. I’ve really enjoyed learning about Hindu traditions while practicing the movements. While we work hard in the class, it’s not so strenuous that it isn’t accessible to most people." - Marga K.
"Nithya gave a thrilling performance for my wedding and enthralled the guests with her graceful moves and captivating expressions. She even gave a quick background on the meaning behind the dance to educate our guests who were unaware about the significance and history behind the dance. She transported all of us to a different world and made my wedding a memorable one." - Prasad K.
