Best Dance Classes in Cumberland South, Sunnyvale, CA

Being a student of Ms. Malini is a privilege. I was very apprehensive when I tried out a class with Ms. Malini but when I finished the class I was even more inspired and motivated to take up Bharatanatyam lessons. I’m probably Ms. Malini’s oldest student and I absolutely love that fact! She’s a wonderful teacher and guide. More power to her ???.

I have known about Malini and her dance school for years. It is an incredible amazing institution run by Malini as one of the best schools whose performances produced as very eye catching and pleasant. The director Malini is not only high class with her students but very pleasing. Hope it would continue for a long time in the LA area

It has been an honor to learn from my guru, Dr. Malini Krishnamurthi - she is an exemplary teacher who conducts each class with compassion and kindness. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of dance incorporating theory, confidence building, and wellness!

Everything positive multigenerational

My daughters have been learning bharatanatyam from Malini aunty for the past 5 years. Aunty is amazing with kids and knows how to make the classes both fun and disciplined. They picked up the basics really quickly. Unlike other dance schools, Natyanjali school strictly follows the orthodox traditional parampara. Besides dancing, my girls also learn a lot about Indian culture in her classes. Most of the dance videos are uploaded to the website's learning module, which is really helpful for practicing at home. Despite her age, she is very active and hands-on during class. I also appreciate her attention to every detail, from makeup and music to photography and ethnic dressing. We had a fantastic experience during the annual performance. There are also performances during Dussera and at the temple for exposure. Even during the COVID year, she went the extra mile by conducting Zoom classes and additional rehearsal sessions before each performance.

Malini’s a great Bharatanatyam dancer . My twin girls learned Bharatanatyam from Malini for around 9 months and during this period , I have seen great progress in their interest towards dance and also seen great progress in their learnings . I recommend Malini to anyone looking for a dance teacher around the West Covina area .

My daughter has been learning bharathanatyam from Dr Malini Krishmoorthy for the past few years now. Malini instills the passion for dance in the kids from early on. She is so friendly and connects to the kids so well that it provides a very warm environment for the kids to learn. Her choreography, attention to detail, and rigorous training prepares the kids to feel proud and confident of their dance journey. Thanks to Mailini for passing on this authentic traditional bharathanatyam skills to the next generation growing up outside India. #grateful

Great teacher, regular schedule

Good services, highly recommended.

In the Swarajathi “Mamohalahiri” in raga Kamas, Malini presented in an untiring manner, despite its lengthy format, the complicated and intricate sollukattus, swaras and swara-sahityas. Malini displayed her talent in both Nritta and abhinaya. The selection of padams, “Arupadai veedu”, “Narayaneeyam” and “Nagendra Haraya”, brought out moving abhinaya from Malini. The performance concluded with a “Thillana” in Hamsanandi where Malini excelled in footwork.

Malini Krishnamurthi - A fine devotee of her art: Malini was confident, charming and dexterous in handling difficult passages. Skilled in steps and rhythms and expert in gestures and footwork, she was thoroughly professional on stage. Krishnamurthi demonstrated that she is not only very attractive but also a technically competent artist.

Spirited Performance. Being an experienced dancer and teacher, Malini’s performance was endowed with abundant creativity and sensitivity.

One from the West: Dr. Malini Krishnamurthi of USA is an achiever of high standards in two different fields. ..as a dancer of admirable performing acumen she was at her best in both rhythmic and expressional areas.

Traditional dance at the Festival of India, truly mesmerizing.

Spellbinding Performance! Poise, elegance and eloquent abhinaya was much in evidence in her padams. Malini’s youthful vibrancy and impeccable sense of rhythm came to light with her thillana in raga Madhuvanti.
