I began my Kathak journey in April 2022. As soon as I shadowed my very first class, I knew I had found something special. There was not a moment of hesitation- I joined the following week and immediately encouraged my daughter, Akshara, to see if she might be interested as well. She had the exact same experience, and we both started learning Kathak almost at the same time. It has been a pure joy ever since. Learning one of the traditional Indian classical dance forms had always been a dream of mine, and through this experience, I have learned that age is never a barrier when you have the passion to learn.

Sreyashi's teaching style, along with her dedication and deep love for Kathak, is truly inspiring. Her energy and commitment to the art form are contagious and continue to motivate us to this day. I am writing this on behalf of both myself and my daughter- we absolutely love the class and cherish every moment of it. Each week, we look forward to immersing ourselves in the beauty and grace of Kathak. It has become a meaningful part of our lives!
