Manjima ma'am has taught her discipline, devotion and dedication and made her not just a better dancer but also a well rounded ,better human being .Vaibhavi is learning Bharatnatyam along side her JEE preparation and there have been several occasions where Manjima ma'am has recognised the need and shown the flexibility to adjust schedules when required. She has taught my daughter the skills to complement high academic rigor with dance skills that help train her mind and keep her fit She has seen the passion in my child and done everything possible to cultivate her talent. I feel so grateful to Manjima ma'am for going above and beyond and helping / coaching my child to manage emotions through her passion for dance.

Soon she can be seen performing Bharatnatyam in the International Dance festival organised by an ICD, Paris associate in Thailand. Much thanks to Manjima.

"It has been a Year since Manjima is teaching my daughter Bharatnatyam. She is really expert in the field. Have seen her performing on stage and its like so mesmerizing and breathtaking. Her dance forms and expressions are so perfect. I am happy to have her as Bharatnatyam teacher for my daughter. Although early but she is learning in her guidance and am satisfied seeing her inclination and learning process for this dance form. What I like most is that the knowledge is not restricted to learning dance form but essence of each kala that is part of Bharatnatyam."

"I appreciate the efforts and time you have invested in training Vanshika. The comfort level that she has developed with you is the most endearing thing to me. The conversations you have with her are confidence instilling and character building. I am glad she has a guru like you at this important stage of life when her mind is so impressionable. I so vividly remember, during our first meeting I had expressed doubts if Vanshika would like the dance classes or would have it in her to keep it going. But you assured me that she is definitely going to love it and that I should not worry at all about it. And what you said turned out so true. Vanshika deeply enjoys Bharatnatyam. I see her subconsciously practicing her steps everywhere - in the elevator, shops, while watching tv or playing with her friends. She looks forward to her classes and enjoys learning new steps. I believe it is the sincerity of your efforts and connections you build with kids with so much patience. I see no reason to stop now. I think we are with you for the long haul."
Supriya Singh
Mother of Vanshika
"My daughter is in this academy for 2.5 years now. Under the guidance of Mam, my daughter has become more graceful and her postures and hasthas have improved a lot. Mam is very much capable of focusing on each child whether online or offline equally. She knows the strengths and weaknesses of the student and works on them for their better.

Her friendly nature with the kids, makes the kids love her more and learn while having fun with her. Regular revisions and regular exams ensure that kids learn well and understand the nuances of the dance form better. She is highly recommended for Bharatanatyam training."
