Ratings & Reviews for Dance Classes
Guru Mona is very caring and welcoming teacher and treats her students like family. I have been learning Kathak for over 10 years from Guru Mona. She is very creative and talented and all the productions and performances of Mona's Dance Academy reflect the beauty of the classical form of Kathak. I enjoy all the dance classes and look forward to them every week with enthusiasm. Guru Mona has an attention to detail and breaks down the performance to multiple steps as she focuses the student to master each movement in the most beautiful way. She is very patient and supportive and encourages all students to appreciate, love and respect dance. The students learn multiple aspects of Kathak such as graceful hand and foot movements, intricate expressions and theory/background of the dance. The variety of performances we learn at Mona's Dance Academy makes learning and dancing very interesting - from Taranas, Aamads, Bols, Tukdas, Thodas to semiclassical and bollywood fusion. The dances are personalized to the student's capability and interest and enables them to continuously learn and improve in their dance journey. Guru Mona offers both virtual and in-person dance classes, which makes dancing more accessible for out of state students like me. Guru Mona gives opportunities to her students to perform in several global platforms. I whole heartedly recommend Mona's Dance Academy for students to learn and enjoy Kathak dance. Thank you Guru Mona for your wonderful teaching.
I joined her classes about an year ago. Mona Di has excellent teaching style. It is very personalized based on each student. She adapts her style according to the students requirement and is very accommodative. I highly recommend her class.
Both my girls have been going to Mona since they were 5 and 7 years respectively. That was almost ten years back! And they still go to her for Kathak classes every week. Mona is the best teacher they could have had. I have seen both girls grow and improve so much in their dance.
Mona has very good teaching style. It is very personalized based on each student. She works on improvement areas step by step and make them reach their best. My dancing skills and stamina has improved a great extent with her classes. I recommend her classes strongly.
Mona jee is highly professional and so supportive of her students! I started Kathak on a whim after watching my sister’s class. Though I was incredibly nervous and awkward at first, Mona Jee taught me how to use my nervous, awkward limbs to create something beautiful. She helped me build my confidence and has been supportive and understanding through so much! No one does it like her.
