She teaches well.
We happy to learn dance with her
Learning from Akka for 3 years made me a confident, professional dancer. She’s rigorous with basics and explains theory, talam, and dance history.
She’s the best tutor - talented, friendly, and approachable. Her classes are so engaging that we eagerly wait for them every week.
She doesn’t just teach dance. She makes you fall in love with it.View more recommendations
