Shri Krupa School for Indian Performing Arts - Saratoga, California

My daughter and I have been attending classes at Shri Krupa Dance School for almost three years now, and it has been an incredible journey. Under the guidance of the esteemed veteran Guru Sri Vishal Ramani, lovingly called as "Vishal aunty", who has dedicated over 70 years to Bharatanatyam, our experience has truly been transformative.

From the very first class, it was clear that Vishal aunty has a profound understanding of both the art form and her students. Her extraordinary ability to connect with children allows her to recognize their unique potential and support them in their journeys. Her approach fosters an environment where students are inspired to express themselves.

The school's atmosphere is warm and welcoming, creating a strong sense of community among dancers. Vishal aunty not only teaches the techniques of Bharatanatyam but also instills a deep appreciation for its cultural significance. She encourages each student to explore their own creativity while mastering foundational skills.

Having shared this enriching experience with my daughter, I have witnessed remarkable progress in both our abilities, and the supportive environment has greatly built our confidence. The performances organized by the school beautifully showcase the talent of the students and reflect the school 's commitment to nurturing each dancer's growth.

Overall, Shri Krupa Dance School is a true gem in the community, offering a wonderful blend of tradition and artistry. I feel grateful to be part of this journey alongside my daughter and look forward to many more classes under Vishal aunty 's expert guidance. If you're looking for a place where children can thrive in Bharatanatyam, this is undoubtedly the place to be!

I have danced with Shri Krupa ever since I was five years old. Over the years, Shri Krupa has given me comfort, and has become my home. Vishal Aunty has played a huge role in my upbringing as a dancer and an individual. By teaching me Bharatanatyam over the years, she has brought me closer to my heritage and given me invaluable knowledge about my culture. She has instilled discipline in me, which has helped me achieve my academic, professional, personal, and creative goals. I look forward to further growth as a dancer and as an individual with guidance from Vishal Aunty- while never losing sight of my roots.
