From Parents of long-term students
Priya is a dedicated, patient and loving coach. Our kids love her, they have blossomed under her through her many endeavors at encouraging them, providing them many opportunities in dance both western & Indian through the diverse platforms she offers. Some of us who have been with her academy over the years have even seen how our kids have also overcome physical and learning barriers through her training- We are so very glad that her classes are a major part in our kids’s recreational/extra-curricular activities. Our children are developing well-rounded personalities and gaining self-confidence through these. She is a selfless teacher, someone who has high standards for her art but always leads the children with patience and positive words”
