Bharatanatyam Dance School

From Our Students & Families

Voices of Sanskriti

"A teacher can teach steps and technique, but it takes someone truly special to teach an art form with heart, discipline, and deep cultural meaning. Thank you for being that teacher/guru. For the past 3+ years, Aanvi has had the privilege of learning Bharatanatyam from Anusha, and it has been such a meaningful journey for our family to witness. Your passion for Bharatanatyam shines through in every class. What makes you exceptional is that you do not see this as just a job — you are deeply invested in passing on the beauty, tradition, values, and spirit of this art to every child you teach. You are strict when needed, because you genuinely want your students to grow, stay disciplined, and give their very best. That balance of discipline, care, and encouragement is something we deeply appreciate as parents. Under your guidance, we have seen Aanvi not only love this dance form but also grow in confidence, focus, dedication, and appreciation for our culture. What we admire most is your sincerity toward the art form itself. In a world where performances can sometimes become more about commercial exposure and showcasing, you remain deeply focused on meaningful teaching and nurturing true learning. You create opportunities and platforms for the children where their growth, understanding, and connection to Bharatanatyam truly matter, and that speaks volumes about your integrity as a teacher and guru. Most importantly, Aanvi absolutely loves learning from you. The excitement she has for class, the respect and affection she holds for you, and the joy she finds in Bharatanatyam are all reflections of the beautiful environment you create for Aanvi. Thank you for nurturing these children with so much sincerity, patience, and passion. We are incredibly grateful to have you as such an important part of our daughter’s journey and for the lasting impact you continue to make in her life."

"When we moved from New Jersey, my daughter had been learning Bharatnatyam for over 3 years, and I was very particular about finding the right teacher so she could continue learning the art in a proper, authentic way. Finding Anusha made all the difference. My daughter connected with her immediately and developed deep respect for her. Through consistent weekly practice and thoughtful feedback on practice videos, Anusha has helped refine her skills and deepen her understanding of the art. What sets her apart is her rooted dedication to the art itself - and the individual attention she gives each student, nurturing them through their dance journey. More than just a dance class, Anusha has built Sanskriti into a true community—a warm, family-like space where both students and parents feel involved and connected, especially during recitals. My younger daughter has also started her dance journey with Sanskriti. It’s been close to three years now, and both of them look forward to every class with Anusha!"

"Being a student of Sanskriti has been one of the most special parts of our lives — both for my daughter and me. What started as dance classes became so much more than that. Anusha has created a space where we feel welcomed, encouraged, and genuinely cared for. As an adult learner, I was nervous at first about starting or continuing dancing, but she never made me feel out of place. Her patience, encouragement, and belief in me helped me grow in confidence little by little. She teaches with so much passion and sincerity that every class feels inspiring. She pushes us to improve while always being kind and supportive. As a parent, seeing my daughter learn from her has been incredibly heartwarming. My daughter looks forward to every class and speaks about her teacher with so much love and admiration. Beyond dance, she is learning discipline, confidence, grace, and respect for the art form. I can truly see the positive influence Ms. Anusha has had on her. One of the things we admire most is how she gives personal attention to every student and makes each person feel seen. She celebrates our progress, motivates us during challenges, and creates such a warm dance family atmosphere. I am truly grateful to be part of her dance school and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, talented, and compassionate dance teacher."
