Summer School was very well organised and was suitable for all the levels. I loved the fun environment. It was good opportunity to meet up people with same interest in dance and music.

Excellent teachers, lots of friendly students, enjoyed making friends. Loved the performance by tutors and other evening performance.

I learnt things which I didn't expect. The amount of support received from the organisers and the teachers was amazing. They taught new ways of having fun while doing something you enjoyed.
Seema Sodha (Bharatanatyam - Intermediate level - London)

I loved the holistic approach of the course. Enjoyed the interaction with other dancers and dance forms and the quality performance by the gurus.
Dr. Seshadri Iyengar (Bharatanatyam - Advance level - London)

Excellent opportunity to get intensive dance training and learn new pieces and meet new people. Really appreciated the emphasis on healthy dance practice. There could have been more sessions in the evening. And also it would have been better if the accommodation was closer to the studios.
