Vijayadasami (the last day of the Navratri Festival of 9 nights) is an auspicious day for Bharatanatyam dancers, as it marks our 'Vidhyarambam', or the beginning/renewal of our dancing year. Natya Praana hosts a school function where we celebrate this special day every year.

Lakshanya is the kindest, most patient and dedicated teacher I have ever come across. She really puts in her heart into the art form and her love for it shines through in the way she teaches and dances.

Her teaching style is unique and individualized and I always feel like I am well supported.

The hour that I’m there every week always takes me into a different world where I am focused, mindful and enjoying every minute of my time!

I would highly recommend Natya Praana School and Lakshanya as a teacher!
