My daughter has been with Ms Ranjani ever since kindergarten and now she’s a high school student. Ms Ranjani has taught various styles of dance like classical, Punjabi, Garba, Raas, Yakshagana, Bollywood and many more. Ms Ranjani teaches dance with a lot of passion and perfection to get the best out of the student. The annual recital show ‘Aerovaganza’ says it all. When we shared the dance videos to our grandparents, family and friends this year, they were simply amazed by the graceful dance moves, creative choreography and finally on how well the show was executed. We are very thankful to Ms. Ranjani for nurturing and developing student’s passion to the ultimate level.

If you are looking for empowering your child's creative expression through dance, then look no more, Aerodance is the place!! My daughter has been learning Bollywood with Ranjani garu for 5 years now. Each class I have seen my child grow a little more as a dancer. Ranjani garu's innate cultural values are imbibed into each of her student. The students start out with her as amateur dancers and grow into these professional trainers, who then pass on their expertise to young budding dancers. One such feather from Ranjani garu's flock is Riya Patel. Riya has been teaching my daughter online during this pandemic. She's such a graceful dancer. The songs she choreographed for my daughter's class had some very elegant moves . She is very patient with young children. My daughter loved to be in her class. We are so happy and fortunate that we found Aerodance and can't wait to see my daughter turn into a great dancer with rich cultural values under the guidance of Ranjani garu.

Aerodance has been a great experience for my kid for the last two years. He joined the class on a whim but has grown to love it, thanks to Director Ranjani’s creativity and motivation. She constantly changes up the routine and teaches new techniques and infuses her students with energy. They also get plenty of opportunities to showcase their talents.

My girl has been learning dance with Aerodance and Ms. Ranjani since 8 years ago. At that time I sent her to many different dance programs such as ballet, zumba, salsa, hip hop, but she only stayed with Aerodance. I believe it's because of the energy of the Indian dance, the fun movements taught in the lessons, the passion and friendliness of the Aerodance staff that won her heart. After so many years I saw her growth year after year and the beautiful performance their team delivered every time. Besides bringing great entertainments to the family, amazing growth in dance skills for the kid, we have always been impressed by the dedication Ranjani's team gave the students, their love for dance and life, as well as their pursue for excellence that served a wonderful example for the children's character building. Last but not least, I am very thankful to the Aerodance community's openness and friendliness to my girl and our family. I often find myself as the only Chinese parent in the big Aerodance events, but everyone was so nice, helpful to us and gave the girl a ton of support & appreciation. The study with Aerodance opened a door to the Indian culture for my girl and our family. It has been an amazing journey and I am very happy to see my child continue growing with her Aerodance friends towards a skilled dancer, a global minded person, a future leader, and a passionate girl enjoying her life with the company of her friends in the community.

My daughter has been going to Aerodance for the last couple of years. We have had absolutely the best experience. Ms. Ranjani is really good balance of softness and discipline for her students. My daughter loves going to her damce class and really looks upto Ms. Ranjani. I am not sure how she manages to put amazing shows out of these 3-5 years but she raises the bar every time and the kids rise up to challenge. Her annual Aerovanza is one of the best dance production I've seen. The creativity is mesmerizing.

My daughter has been going through Aerodance from past 7 years..Ms Ranjani is amazing choregrapher..It is not all about teaching and focusing on dance but also develop kids attitude to acknowledge and accept all kind of challenges and develop competitive spirit. My daughter made amazing friends and all her batch mates are continuing from past 7 years. The thing that need to be appreciated was when my kid joined the competition team, the emphasis was very much on developing themselves and not about competing against anyone.No Doubt- My daughter's self-confidence and self-esteem has soared at Aerodance. Kudos to Ranjani...

I was recommended to Aerodance by a friend of mine and have been sending my now 5 year old daughter to miss Ranjani for a year now. She is very passionate and professional. She invests her time on kids , observes their behavior and tries to mould them in a way they can adapt and understand. Within this year’s span my kid has overcome the fear of public while doing performances. She likes miss Ranjani a lot and is always excited to go the class . Ms Ranjani gives feedback after class and discusses what can be done or what needs to be done. She teaches kids the dance moves by making them understand the lyrics. If you are interested in Indian dance and shows then aerodance is the place you need to be at. I would highly recommend ms Ranjani and Aerodance .

We started Aerodance a few months back- I was looking for a place where my daughter could learn a dance form that she enjoys & helps her develops a love for the craft. Aerodance & specifically Ms. Ranjini has been successful in doing just that. She is an amazing teacher with high work ethic, sincerity in her approach, a discipline that I was not able to find in other places I tried. Within a couple of months, my daughter [who was stage shy] has appeared & enjoyed being on the stage for 3 times. This place is not only about learning & performing on stage, its about building stamina along with life skills & for my daughter it is place she found her passion. Thank you Aerodance, my gratitude.

Ms. Ranjani is the only one who teaches here and owns the Aerodance with 25 years of experience. We are fortunate to find Aerodance, after trying a couple of dance schools close by, I gave up on kids not showing interest. Never in my dreams, I thought my kids would start dancing and performing on stage. My dream came true and this is just the beginning. Love Ms. Ranjani passion, dedication, and discipline; she pushes the limits to bring out the best in kids and keeps parents engaged throughout the process.

Last year(2024) Aerodance completed 25 glorious years. We have been part of this journey for the past 8 years. My kids have learned here not just various dance forms, but even life skills like leadership, patience, resilience, discipline, and never give up attitude. The director of the school herself choreographs the dances and ensures that kids get familiar with the different forms of Indian dances. In the process, kids get to learn the rich culture of India. Every year they have the annual dance showcase where teams present their learnings. Their colorful costumes match perfectly with their dance form, and the school makes the right choice of props to go with the dance. Minute details like facial expressions, co-ordinated dance moves with the rest of the team, always face the audience, lip sync are highly emphasized. The dances are always family-friendly, graceful & leave a lasting impression. Aerodancers excel not just in dance, but also in academics, and all round development. We are a proud Aerodance family & highly recommend people to give it a shot.

My daughter has been going to Aerodance for the last 12 years and Aerodance has become a second home and family for her.Ms.Ranjani gives exposure to different dance genres and also gives an opportunity for the child to learn more about the rich Indian heritage through various dance genres including but not limited to semi classical, various folk dances from each state of India alongwith the western styles.The child is assessed every year and Ms.Ranjani awards the student at the school's annual show with the level mastered boosting the child's confidence.My child was extremely shy and Ms.Ranjani pushed her to overcome her fears and build confidence over the years and graduating from the Academy.There is no limit to opportunity if the child is interested and you will get an abundance of it at Aerodance through competitions, performances , Warriors games, dance with celebrities and shows.There is never a dull moment and I highly recommend for anyone interested in advancing in dance!

LOVE, LOVE this SCHOOL...My daughter has been a student for over 6 years, and she loves it. Wish I could give it a 10 star.....Director Ranjani works hard to empower her students to succeed in dance and instill good self practice routines for their students I have watched how Aerodance treats each and everyone of their students with the same amount of respect and encouragement over my last 6 years. At my daughters young of 5 she taught her to dance and practice on her own at home. And it has been a great joy to see what a wonderful and graceful Indian semi classical /Bollywood dancer she is becoming. She has learned her own self-discipline, what a great trait that she now uses in her homework and other school work... I truly enjoy Aerodance school style of teaching and the way she makes sure your child is placed in the best class for the child's growth in dance and learning.. The fact that Areodance does not promote only winning competition's but more about the road to success, learning to preform and achieving the child's best, and when my daughter wins an event all the more rewarding . I'm also thankful for all the great opportunities the school has given my daughter over the last 6 years. We are Aerodancers ......
