My daughter learned Bharatanatyam from Neha Parikh (artistic director) since the age of 4. She did her arangetram in 2022. Neha is a talented dancer, who is also versed in getting her students to embrace our indian culture through dance; her unique choreographies, attention to detail, and ability to bring expression in her students is just remarkable. I never thought my daughter would be ever able to perform for 2+ hours on stage with live musicians; it was a remarkable experience for all of us, and a day that built great memories for all. Neha's passion, hard work, tremendous abilities in choreographing pieces to best suit the student, enables her to grow her students in nritya (dance), abhinaya (expression) and overall passion for this art form.

Beginning years you won't see it, but later as your child develops love for Bhratanatyam, you will never look back and will look forward to enjoying the dance pieces with your child! If you want to see the quality of Neha's training, please watch some of the pieces of Nithya Arun's arangetram, in youtube.

My daughter will be doing her arrangetram in 2022, and through dance Neha has inspired her to work hard, be diligent to practice regularly, and to never give up ! These are lessons that would apply to everything my daughter would embark in. Neha’s biggest impact if my daughter is developing her ability to emote; Neha has been and continues to spend endless hours to get that emotion and right facial expression for every portion of the dance; for Neha it can always get better and she keeps challenging the student! It is such a delight to watch her classes.

She's the best teacher I could ever think for my daughter in terms of discipline, instruction, perfection, execution !

In a performance that served to showcase the slow, delicate and more rounded movements of Mohiniyattom, Parikh demonstrated superb artistry with her near-perfect nritta.

Neha Parikh also performed on the same day and it was a visual treat for the audience.

Awesome teacher
