From Our Community

Words from our students and parents

My daughter has been learning Bharatanatyam here, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. The dance teacher is not only extremely knowledgeable but also a great dancer herself, which truly reflects in the way she teaches. She brings so much patience, clarity, and passion to every class. She has a natural way of connecting with children, and the kids genuinely enjoy her company and look forward to each session. We consider ourselves very lucky that my daughter is getting trained under Sowmya ma'am. I've seen a beautiful improvement in my daughter's confidence, posture, and love for classical dance. The classes are well-structured, disciplined, and still filled with joy and creativity — an ideal blend of traditional Bharatanatyam training and a nurturing environment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an excellent Bharatanatyam class for their children!

Vid. Sowmya Vishal ma'am is a very wonderful teacher and an even more amazing person. She's so calm, kind, and patient, and she makes you feel comfortable no matter what level you're at. You never feel scared to make mistakes in her class because she corrects you so gently and encourages you to keep trying. It really feels like she wants every student to enjoy learning, not just get the steps right. Ma'am makes sure we have not just a learning experience but also that we enjoy ourselves. She is truly the best teacher I could ask for. She's also an incredible dancer herself, which makes learning from her even more special. We highly recommend Sowmya ma'am!!

Highly recommend Anura – Centre For Movement. The teachers are very friendly and the space itself feels welcoming to nurture a student's potential. They provide individual attention to students to help them cultivate a passion for the arts. If anyone around Yelahanka is looking for visual and performing arts classes, this is the place to go!
