I feel truly blessed to be part of the Kaleidoscope group. My daughter and I started this journey at the beginning of the year, and the growth I have witnessed in her is remarkable. The credit goes to my Guru and Mentor, Dr. Dipanwita Sengupta Ma’am, whose dedication, passion, and commitment to the art of dance Bharatanatyam and Creative dance form are truly inspiring. She not only teaches with great expertise but also nurtures, motivates, and guides her students in every aspect of their learning. Her constant encouragement has instilled confidence and discipline in my daughter, making this journey a very fulfilling one. We are grateful for her mentorship, and while there is still a long way to go, we feel confident knowing she is guiding us every step of the way.

We first saw the Kaleidoscope Dance academy ad( Bharathanatyam and Creative dance) at the Hanuman temple last year (around early September’24), sparking our curiosity for our daughter. A call and conversation with Dr. Dipanwita ma'am convinced us, and the rest is history. Our daughter has thrived at the academy for almost a year now, thoroughly enjoying every session and adoring her Guru (Dr. Dipanwita). Dr. Dipanwita ma'am is a truly welcoming, kind, and warm-hearted person. Her ability to handle children, while attentively noticing each student during the session and ensuring every move is performed correctly, is truly admirable. In the last 12 months, our daughter has graced the stage multiple times. She has been truly blessed by the opportunity, each a direct result of the training and encouragement of her revered Guru, and the grace of the Almighty. These performances have forged her skills and instilled a sense of dedication in her.

I recently began learning beginner-level Bharatanatyam, where our guru (Dr Dipanwita Sengupta) has guided us through both classical and creative styles. She is an excellent instructor — friendly, encouraging, and deeply attentive to each student’s progress. Her ability to spot individual strengths, motivation and involving everyone in the learning process, makes each session truly enjoyable. Exploring creative Bharatanatyam for the first time has been an exciting experience. Her thoughtful choreography beautifully adapts to different types of songs, blending tradition with creativity. The classes have not only helped me stay physically active but have also been a wonderful way to relieve stress and nurture a positive mindset. I genuinely enjoy dancing under her guidance and look forward to continuing this enriching journey of learning Bharatanatyam.

I have been with Kaleidoscope over two years. I enjoy greatly my lessons on creative dancing and bharatnatyam with Guru Dipanwita. I admired unique style of creative dance form while growing up. I am privileged to learn creative dance now from such an accomplished dancer, Dipanwita Sengupta! She is very passionate about the creative dance form and ever patient with her wide range of students starting from little kids to adults of all ages. She is very graceful and instills the love and the skills for dancing in her students. She expresses her feelings and emotions very skillfully and raises awareness through dancing about current and past social situations. Kaleidoscope fosters creativity in a very nurturing environment. Come, join us and you’ll enjoy too!!

I’ve had a wonderful experience learning Bharatnatyam and Creative Dance at this class. Dipannita di is an excellent teacher—patient, supportive, and deeply knowledgeable. She explains each movement clearly and encourages us to express ourselves with confidence and grace. Her dedication and positive energy make every class enjoyable and inspiring. The atmosphere is warm and motivating, and I truly feel myself growing both technically and creatively under her guidance.

I joined kaleidoscope creative dance class in 2023 as a beginner . I consider myself lucky to be part of this dance group and to be guided and taught by my very talented guru Dipanwita Sengupta who happens to be a good friend . I have grown as a dancer and this keeps me grounded . I would recommend this dance school which teaches bharatnatyam as a base and creative dance to one and all for all age groups .

Learning dance from Dipanwita di has been a truly amazing experience. I had never learned any dance form before—this was my first time—and being introduced to Bharatanatyam through her guidance made the journey even more special. She is always extremely patient and even more enthusiastic than we are, which helps us feel comfortable and confident while learning. Her encouragement, clarity in teaching, and passion for Bharatanatyam make every class enjoyable and inspiring, and they motivate us to keep improving.

I have recently begun my journey in Bharatanatyam as a beginner, along with exposure to creative dance, under the mentorship of our guru, Dipanwita Sengupta. She presents classical techniques alongside creative movement in a way that feels approachable and engaging for learners at all levels. Her supportive and thoughtful teaching approach creates a comfortable learning environment, and she is highly attentive to individual progress while encouraging collective participation. Learning creative Bharatanatyam for the first time has been enjoyable and motivating. Her choreography suits different songs and blends traditional steps with creative ideas. These classes help me stay active and also relax my mind. I truly enjoy learning from her and look forward to continuing my Bharatanatyam journey. :)

Dipanwita has really been one of the greatest teachers I’ve learned from. She is patient, understanding & passionate about her art. She brings people together for their love of dance. I Started coming here almost a year ago. Kaleidoscope dance helped me to reconnect with my Indian roots while allowing me to learn creative dance in with Bharatnyam. My daughter is also learning dance with Kaleidoscope & encouraged me to join! I love the connections and relationships I’ve made with all the women. It’s helped me grow & find my love for dance again while performing along side my daughter. I love that Dipanwita embraces women empowerment & encourages us to our full potential no matter the age.

A truly amazing place to learn the nuances of creative contemporary and classical dances. Dipanwita is truly devoted to the advancement of all the students. A great platform to get future opportunities and a must for budding dancers. Had a great time as a dancer here!

Being associated with Kaleidoscope has been an absolute pleasure and Iam fortunate enough to have a teacher like Dr.Dipanwita Sengupta. Every class I attended enhances my interest in the dace form and encourages me to look forward to learning even more. The positive vibes and the dedicated environment that Kaleidoscope provides is very motivating and peaceful. Very creative n innovative atmosphere. Very grateful.

As the quote stated by Oprah Winfrey, Everyday brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance. This, completely goes with those who are fortunate to even kick-start dancing after years. I have been learning Bharatnatyam since i was 2 years old, but had to discontinue. Never in my slightest fantasies, thought i could continue it here, Abroad!! All credits goes to my Guru-Ma: Dr Dipanwita Sengupta Roy, whose language of dance lifted the veil in me to continue weaving the tingles of dance even after years. Her patience and dedication to instill the rhythms of creative and classical dance in every individual is phenomenal. Joining Kaleidoscope family here, gave me a lot of peace and happiness.

My daughter has been a Kaleidoscope member for 3+ years now and loves it. She’s been learning creative and bharatnatyam dance forms there. Dipanwita Sengupta is a wonderful teacher- she is very talented, understanding and kind. If they have the drive, she works with all of the students to make sure they improve from class to class and learn something new. I will highly recommend Kaleidoscope!!

Being a non-dancer, I’ve been on the lookout to exposing my (then) 4 year old to different dance forms. Dipanwita and Kaleidoscope Dance Academy was introduced to me through a mutual friend and I’ve not looked back since then (it’s been a couple years). Dipanwita has been grooming my daughter through various nuances of Bharatnatyam (Indian classical form) dance techniques, expressing ideas & songs creatively and providing opportunities to perform thus boosting confidence & reinforcing learning. She looks forward to learning something new in each class and strengthening her bond with her guru (Dipanwita) & dance friends.

Dance is the best art form for me to express as well as connect to myself in the spiritual level. Kaleidoscope has been the perfect place to help me accomplish that. Our guru Dr. Dipanwita Sengupta is an immense source of our inspiration who nurtures our passion for Indian classical dance forms through her excellent mentorship. I wholeheartedly extend my gratitude to her and my friends in the school to form a family far away from my home.

As a long-time student at Kaleidoscope, I can attest to the exceptional quality of teaching and mentorship offered by Guru Dipanwita Sengupta in the realms of Bharatanatyam and Indian Creative dance forms. From the very inception of this establishment, Kaleidoscope has been a beacon of artistic excellence, fostering a vibrant learning environment that nurtures both skill and passion. Dipanwita Madam is a meticulous and dedicated teacher and ensures the best learning environment in the class. Students are not merely taught dance steps, they are immersed in the rich traditions and cultural nuances of Bharatanatyam and Indian Creative dance forms. One of the hallmarks of Kaleidoscope is its commitment to providing students with opportunities to showcase their talents on prestigious platforms and art events across the US and beyond. It's a space for thriving and flourishing! I have had the best experiences of learning dance and building a sense of belonging. I have my highest recommendations!

I’m Payel. I’m a Bharatanatyam dancer. Started learning from 4 and half year of my age.Now I’m staying in Lewis Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA. After moving from India I was looking for Indian creative and classical dance school, where I can continue my practice and cherish my dream. So after few weeks I found Dipanwita(di) Sengupta Roy and kaleidoscope dance academy. She’s my guru and I get guidance from her like an elder sister. My 7 years old daughter also started learning Indian creative dance and Bharatanatyam from November 2023. And my younger daughter she’s 3 years old, she’ll be joining dance class from May,2024. What I have felt about Dipanwita di is she has great source of knowledge in theory and practical in both dance forms. Which I admire very much because it’s important to know what we’re learning and our kids also learn. Dipanwita di adores her students and really takes care of them. As a student I felt it.

Since I joined Kaleidoscope, I have loved everyday with Guru Dipanwita Sengupta. She is not only a teacher but also makes me feel motivated and a part of her own family. I am learning Indian Creative Dance and Bharatnatyam from her. As a dance-lover, it is a great feeling to be able to learn two dance forms at the same time. She also encourages and helps people to appear on dance exams which is an added benefit for a person like me who has never had a chance to do so before. Joining Kaleidoscope is easy and affordable. I wholeheartedly thank her for providing me this wholesome experience.

My daughter 7yrs started learning Bharatanatyam and Indian Creative Dance from Guru Dipanwita Sengupta Roy for last two years. My daughter loves and enjoys learning two different unique dance forms from her Guru. Dipanwita is a patient, detailed oriented and a motivated teacher and works with each student to improve them. She also explains and makes dancing a hand on learning fun creative learning process for her students. My daughter loves going to her weekly dance classes and enjoys performing with her Dance Academy friends. I highly recommend Kaleidoscope.

Kaleidoscope Dance Academy is a temple of art that primarily teaches Creative Dance and Bharatnatyam. Dr. Dipanwita Sengupta Roy who is a scientist by profession is also a Dance Maestro and founder of Kaleidoscope Dance Academy. She is the pioneer in introducing Indian Creative Dance in Ohio, USA and has been sharing her passion for dance in the form of teaching students (all ages irrespective of their experience and expertise in the field). I have been very fortunate to be able to learn from our very dear Dipanwita Didi (as we call her) and have her as my Dance Guru. Not only is she an exceptionally graceful dancer herself, but also an excellent teacher. She is very patient and teaches her students with love and passion. It is amazing to see the little kids and teenagers perform as gracefully as the older students. One of the many things that makes this group unique is there are students with different levels of expertise (with or without previous dance experience), students who have always wanted to dance but for some reason could never pursue their passion, students who had to distance themselves from dance for some reason-Kaleidoscope Dance Academy brings them all together on one platform. It has been 4 years since I joined this dance group and it brings me joy in seeing it grow over the years as 1 big dance family. I take pride in our team and I highly recommend all those interested in reaching out to us. Dipanwita di, thank you for everything you do and may you(we) keep spreading joy (in the form of dance) globally!

I thoroughly enjoy being a part of Kaleidoscope dance academy. On my very first dance class, not only I felt extremely happy and included but it felt like I revisited a long lost friend- a bond with dance. Guru Dipanwita Ma’am is an amazing teacher who always motivates and encourages us to do better at dance very patiently. I am really grateful to be a part of this community which is both creative and positive with amazing people to guide and celebrate.

I watched the dance drama performance, The Dance to Destiny, performed by Kaleidoscope. It was a mesmerizing journey of passion, creativity, and storytelling of a little girl. It felt as though she was fulfilling a long-awaited destiny, one shaped by her deep love for dance. It was like opening the pages of an unread book and going through the excitement of unknown emotions. The music of life was reverberated in every episode of the presentation from the beginning to the end. The elegant moves and the choreography were a new addition to the current dance styles representing a brilliant fusion of contemporary and classical styles. The dancer’s elegant movements -sprints, gallops, leaps, twists and turns were gracefully presented with defined gestures painting a vivid picture of expressions. The coordination of eyes, ears, body, mind, and the heart was choreographed with detailed attention. Besides techniques, the emotional depth elicited the connection with the music enriching the presentation. The costumes, lighting, the set design, and the synchronization of the performers perfectly complemented the choreography and impacted the storytelling. The “dance to destiny” was a captivating display of artistry, precision, and emotion, leaving me profoundly moved. Overall, the “dance to destiny” is a masterful expression of storytelling depicting a little girl's love and passion for dance transformed to dream and destiny.

My two daughters and me are learning Bharatanatyam and Indian Creative Dancing from Mrs Dipanwita Sengupta Roy since 2020. She has been such an inspiration to us. Her knowledge, techniques, and her dedication drives us to be more successful and sincere. She teaches both online and in person so that gives you lot more flexibility on your schedule. Finally, she is very humble, patient and down to earth which helps her new learners feel comfortable from the very first class. She always takes time to answer all your questions. I'd highly recommend Kaleidoscope for yourself and your family and friends, if you want to learn Indian Creative Dancing or Bharatanatyam.

I have been fortunate to learn Bharatnatyam and Creative Dancing under Guru Dipanwita Ma’am, and it has been a truly enriching experience. I’ve always wanted to learn an Indian classical dance form, and finding such an opportunity, especially while living abroad, is rare. Dipanwita Ma’am is an exceptional teacher who shows tremendous patience with her students. She focuses not only on the technical aspects but also on explaining the history, emotion, and spiritual meaning behind each movement. Even someone with no prior dance experience like me is able to grasp the skills easily. As students, we are also given the opportunity to perform at the annual recital, which is a wonderful event to showcase our talents and foster a spirit of collaboration. The Kaleidoscope community is warm and welcoming, making it easy for students to ask questions and share their thoughts. I am deeply grateful for the guidance I’ve received from Dipanwita Ma’am, and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Bharatnatyam and creative dancing.

Dipanwita ji is highly talented in her field of dance. I'm proud my kids are her students, she teaches Bharatanatyam, creative dance forms with at most patience and dedication. She handled my kid right from the age of 3 and developed her interest towards dance in a very enjoyable manner. Both dance forms are given equal importance and thought dedicatedly to her students and through which every emotions are conveyed effectively. And she encourages her students to validate their knowledge through certification program which will definitely help them in future. I highly recommend Dipanwita mam

Watching Kaleidoscope perform is like witnessing poetry in motion. The dancers tell stories that move you, challenge you, and stay with you long after the performance ends. Truly a brilliant initiative

The workshops conducted by Kaleidoscope were inspiring and transformative. I learned so much about blending classical discipline with innovative movement. The mentors are supportive, skilled, and passionate about dance

Kaleidoscope is redefining the Indian dance landscape. Their creative vision and commitment to authentic expression are unmatched. Every performance leaves a lasting impact—it’s art in its purest form.

I attended one of Kaleidoscope’s recent shows and was completely blown away. The choreography was fresh and meaningful, with a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. A must-see for any lover of performing arts.

Kaleidoscope’s performances are mesmerizing! The fusion of classical and contemporary dance is beautifully done. Pousali and Dipanwita bring such passion and elegance to the stage—it’s always a joy to watch their work.
