Phenomenal teacher!

I and my daughter ( 5 year old) are learning Kathak under Papia’s Ma’am for 3 years now. She is a very dedicated teacher. I can see how much she loves her dance and how beautifully she makes us learn too. Her teaching method is at par in offline and online class both. She very patiently teaches the art both to kids and adults. Ma’am is always ready to answer are queries, no matter how many times we ask. She is always a message/ping/call away. In online mode, she shares her video recordings so that we at home can practice regularly.

Excellent

I have had a great experience with Papia ma'am. I joined her classes in the online mode two months ago. Initially I was worried about learning dance online but she has very good processes of teaching online and I have not faced any difficulty whatsoever. She follows the pace of the student so the classes can be as fast or slow paced as you want, depending on your pick up and practice. All I needed was a good internet connection and I am able to pursue my dream of learning Kathak under Papia ma'am's guidance. She also shares videos of routines after the class to make sure nothing is missed due to the online mode. I am very happy to take the classes with her.
