My daughter started learning Bharat Natyam here when she was 4. We are very happy with teachers and specially Paromita & Krithika who pays special attention to detail to all the steps and postures. Anyone looking to learn this dance form can definitely rely on this center

I have been learning with Nrityalina dance studio for 6 years. The experience has been incomparable. Every time we learn something new, Ms. Paromita helps us understand and get better. I feel like Im becoming a better dancer with every class and it is so enjoyable, even making mistakes, because then we work harder to be the best.

I have been learning Bharatanatyam Dance form in Nrityalina since last 4 years. Teachers are very talented , well trained ,caring, dedicated and knowledgeable. They take care of each and individual student and the classes are tailored for individual's need so that the whole course encourages to push one's ability. Last but not the least, Nrityalina makes learning a tough Dance form like Bharatnatyam relatively easy and fun to learn.

Not a good experience, save you money and find a better teacher. My kid was afraid of the main teacher Paromita, as she yelled a lot at The kids during class.
