          Rated 5.0 I have been learning Mohiniyattam from Trupthi for the past two months.Being a beginner in dancing at my age,I had very low confidence initially.But Trupthi's excellent way of teaching boosted my confidence and helped me to improve a lot.Her patience and teaching method is really impressive.She explains minute details of each step and gives us enough time to improve to the desired level. Now I am very happy with my decision to learn Mohiniyattam in Natyakalanjali.

          Rated 5.0 My daughter is learning Bharathanatyam with Trupthi for about 3 years and I always have admired the way she teaches them, with perfection. She is very dedicated and teaches the kids about the importance of paying attention to minute details which are impressive. She doesn't rush through the classes and takes her time in making the kids understand the steps and learn them thoroughly before moving on to next. Impressed by all her ways of teaching, I started learning Bharathanatyam from Trupthi since November. I have no experience in Bharathanatyam and she teaches me with care and perfection, so that I don't feel overwhelmed for my age. She gives us time to learn the steps until we get it right and she is always very punctual with her classes. My daughter and myself always look forward for her classes as she makes them enjoyable.

          Rated 5.0 I have been learning dance under Trupthi from last November. Having not been learnt much during my childhood, this is a truly wonderful experience for me. Trupthi is super talented as a dancer and is a great teacher. Our steps are polished to perfection and are practiced and corrected until we get it right. She tries her best to bridge out the issues with "online" coaching and has been successful so far. Her style of teaching is not monotonous and is a little different from the usual traditional ways so that it keeps us engaged and makes us look forward every week.

          Rated 5.0 My daughter has been learning Bharatanatyam from Tripti Panickor for the past two years. Although she has been learning from several gurus in the past, I have to say I can see her very focused and devoted after joining Tripti. I have seen her become quite disciplined w.r.t attending classes, practicing her adavus at home and there has been tremendous improvement in her form and style. Tripti is a very sincere dedicated teacher who knows how to teach this dance form (which is known to be the most difficult one), and in a manner that the students develop keen interest, discipline, and perfection. I highly recommend her for anyone who is serious about learning Indian classical dance in its authentic form. I also have to mention that there has been no difference in her teaching style or dedication between in-person classes or the online classes during pandemic. I am glad that my daughter was able to continue with her classes in the most efficient manner.

          Rated 5.0 Trupthi is not only super talented at different dance styles but at teaching as well. She knows how to communicate to the students to teach them irrespective of what age they are. Both my 6 & 10 year old daughters learn Bharatanatyam at Natyakalanjali. In just 2 months, I can see the perfection with which they do their steps. There is so much that a teacher can do online when compared to an in-person learning, but for Trupthi, there is no difference. The amount of attention to detail she pays to her students’ mudras, posture, steps, facial expressions and where they look when they dance, shows how high she sets the bar and pushes the kids to reach it. She is awesome.
