6 Reviews

Krutika Kulkarni, having been on a journey of Indian classical dance - Bharatanatyam for over 20 years, is a dance practitioner, performer, teacher and researcher.
Krutika has trained a multitude of students and believes that Classical dance is all about diving into a deep meditation of music, movements, and emotions, whilst being aware of one’s true consciousness.
“Seeing that spark in my students’ eyes and having the opportunity to teach them art, makes me feel like I have found my purpose,” says Krutika.
Imparting positivity during her classes is one of the prime aspects she remembers to check off her list.
As a teacher, Krutika blends in the traditional features of the classical dance with the techniques that work for each student uniquely. While training, she makes sure her students comprehend the logical reasoning behind each lesson. What drives her is her vehement zeal to ensure that, anyone who joins dance class merely for mechanical purposes like exercise, eventually falls in love with the art.
Krutika, thinks that dance should be a process of self-growth, expression, and freedom.

Professional, Compassionate, talented, positive, Down to earth, lovable.

Being a working professional I've joined My Guru Vidhushi Kruthika Kulkarni ma'm's class out of self interest. Ma'm explains and teaches the concepts, adavus and posture corrections in a energetic, easy and simple manner and thereby inculcates interest to learn more. She also motivates us personally and encourages through various activities, story telling etc,. She's very patient infact teaches the same adavus/expressions to me until I get it right. Also she listens to our personal weaknesses and guides us with right direction accepting us the way we are. The caring, empathy, professionalism, at times strict whenever necessary she shows and the career achievements she holds keeps us motivated to be on track and achieve great heights.... A pool of knowledge Makes her overall a complete Guru of mine. Lucky and blessed enough to get her as GURU....

Best classical teacher available in Bangalore.

Krutika ma'am is very supportive and understanding the way she teaches is very clear. At the age of 28 I was very sceptical of learning classical dance as a beginner but she motivated in a very right direction and informed the pros and cons which was very much needed as a beginner who had no knowledge of it. She is very knowledgeable in what she's doing. She understands our availablity as well and teaches accordingly. Which is crucial at this age. Individual attention is given. Online classes are going very hassle free. Fee is also very reasonable. Completely one can trust and join the class to learn the best.

Very patient and addresses each and every query and gives individual attention to every student. Krutika mam is very motivating and sweet. She puts extra efforts in teaching us she sends audios and notes for us to practice at home apart from regular classes. It's a great feeling to be a student in your dance class. Thank you for challenging but fun classes mam..
