Serving ZIP Codes:01867, 1867
From the Business:Neha is a talented dancer who showed a lot of promise and deep interest in dance from a very young age. She was exposed to the beautiful and intense art form of Bharata Natyam from a tender age of 7. Her love for this art, persuaded her to take up professional training in Bharata Natyam from Nalanda Nritya Kala Mahavidhyalaya (Nalanda College of Classical Dance) in Mumbai, India. This internationally famous institution was founded by Padmashri Dr. Kanak Rele. Neha completed her Bachelor's and Master's in fine arts (Classical dance) from Nalanda specializing in Bharatanatyam. She is also a trained artiste in Mohiniattam. Neha was fortunate enough to be guided by very eminent Gurus like Smt. Thangamani Nagarajan, Smt.Malati Agniswaran, Shri Vaibhav Arekar and Smt.Ambika Vishwanathan who were the lecturers at Nalanda Institute. She also had the honor of performing major roles in the most prestigious productions of Nalanda like 'Shilappadikaram', 'Santavani', 'Kanchanmrig', and 'Swapnavasadattam' at various prominent venues in India. At Nalanda as a student she was trained to choreograph dance ballets and also train other students during this period. Since 2005, when she relocated to the US, she has been teaching students in the US and is well known for her adherence to strict standards and yet very creative performances. Following the Guru-Shishya traditions in teaching, she interacts with students in trying to get the best out of every student. It is to her credit that many of her students have performed their 'Arangetram' or solo dance debut recitals since 2006 and more are on their way to achieving this milestone. Neha is an active member of India Association of New Hampshire since 2005 which awarded her with IANH "Excellence Award" in April, 2011. She was also presented the "Spotlight on Excellence Award" in the category of "Dedicated dancer" by Lokvani in September 2011.Read more
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.
