Testimonials
My daughter Shakthi joined Ishana dance academy when she just turned 4 and has now been learning for almost 3.5 yrs. Vasanthy is a beautiful dancer and is very passionate about teaching and kindling interest in the kids towards learning dance and has a beautiful knack to challenge them and help them perfect this beautiful art. Everyone can be passionate but not everyone would be able to teach and touch the hearts of little kids. Vasanthy is such a person and I am looking forward for my daughter to enjoy and learn this sacred art to connect to Ishwara. Saisudha. A
Over the past few years, my daughter Nithila has been attending Ishana Dance Academy. Throughout this time, I have seen her morph into a graceful performer who loves to dance under her guru “Vasanthy Raja”. Vasanthy herself is gifted dancer who is able to take her knowledge of the exquisite age-old traditional Bharatanatyam dance and pass this on to children of all ages. I personally admire her ability to mold and teach each child the symbolism of the dance moves they are performing so they too know the true meaning of the message they are communicating. Whether it is a simple Adavu or Natya, she is one among very few gurus who train alongside her students until it’s pristine. I’m simply in awe of her professionalism, mastery of the art, and deeply rooted to the ground. Vino. S
Ishana Dance Academy has been a wonderful learning experience for both my daughter and I, as we pursue our classical Indian dance training in Bharatanatyam. Vasanthy is a skillful dancer and an excellent teacher in that she has the utmost patience as she trains students of various ages and skill levels. Madhuri. B
I’ve been learning dance from Ishana Dance Academy for the past 2 years and it has been a wonderful experience all the way. My guru, Vasanthy Raja, brings out the best in me and encourages me to learn and grow not only as a dancer but as a person. She has a vast knowledge about Bharatanatyam and I am very blessed to be learning dance from her. Meghana. M
