A very passionate and enthusiastic teacher!

Honnika Ma'am is my daughter Tanisha's dance teacher. My daughter is 4 yrs old. Though she is too small, she was given an opportunity to learn dance considering her interest in dancing. Ma'am is very talented and an experienced teacher. She is a good observant. Takes care of subtle things and motivates children to perform better. She is no doubt an excellent teacher for dance. Wishing Honnika Ma'am Good Luck in her Career and all the endeavors!!
