Having observed Ashwini's dance classes over several years, I can say there are many reasons to learn from her. As a skilled dancer, Ashwini brings deep knowledge of various dance styles to her teaching. What sets her apart is her ability to break down complex techniques and share the history behind each movement, while guiding each student at their own pace.
Ashwini's classes balance proper form, strong foundations, and an engaging session. This combination motivates her students to go the extra distance, as evidenced by the enthusiasm and determination I got to witness in each session.
One of Ashwini's notable strengths is her adaptability. She takes interest in understanding each student's goals, learning preferences, and considerations. The patience and attention to detail she brings to working on her students' progress makes the classes really compelling.
For anyone looking to start dancing, improve their skills, or rekindle their passion for the art form, you might have found your best tutor. Her dedication, expertise, and guidance provide an enriching learning session for dancers of all levels.Ashwini is a trusted individual who values her work above anything else. She makes a great teacher and has years of experience in her art
Ashwini has been dancing and training in bharatnatyam since she was a child. With almost 20 years of experience under her belt, she is a fantastic teacher. She is patient and will teach you steps slowly and efficiently. She is not only trained in bharatnatyam but, also in other dance forms like Bellydance, Bollywood, fusion, etc
I first got to know Ashwini in undergrad when she delivered a mesmerising performance for the university dance team, of which she was an integral member. Ever since, I have known her to be an artist totally dedicated to her craft and always working to get better. Dance is in Ashwini's DNA - it is a core part of the person she is, a truly delightful, lovely human. If you are looking for a thorough professional who can deliver super fun dance classes, I cannot recommend Ashwini highly enough. You'll have a brilliant time learning from her. I mean, who better to learn from than someone who lives and breathes dance.
She has been fantastic with her work since very beginning. Kudos to her hardworking, her passion for this beautiful art.
Ashwini got even a non-dancer like me to move with agility and grace. She was super patient and just watching her dance was an inspiration ! 100% recommend!
Ashwini is a fantastic dance instructor who empowers her students to build their confidence on the dance floor. She creates a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and celebrating their progress. By setting achievable goals and fostering self-expression, Ashwini helps her students develop not only their dance skills but also their overall confidence.
Guru Ashwini teaches Bharatanatyam in a way that preserves it's traditional nuances but also encourages students to explore other possibilities including in the contemporary genres. She nurtures them into becoming not just good dancers but also excellent choreographers who can adapt to any style quickly. She constantly pushes her students beyond arangetrum.
