Rated 5.0 Mrs. Purvi Bhatt's passion for teaching and dance is clearly seen through the effort that she puts into helping each and every one of her students grow into graceful and skilled dancers. I have truly enjoyed watching my daughters significantly progress as both students and dancers with every year that they are under Mrs. Purvi Bhatt's wing. The performance opportunities that the students receive at this academy are unmatched by any other kathak teacher in the area. The environment in class is highly supportive, and by the way, neither of my daughters speak Gujurati, and have a very basic understanding of Hindi - language is not a barrier at this academy! I highly recommend you enroll your kids in Lasya Kathak Dance Academy - you will be shocked by how good they will get!
Rated 5.0 Lasya Kathak Dance Academy has been a transformative experience. I owe so much to guru Mrs. Purvi Bhatt for being so dedicated to her students and the artform. She constantly encourages her students and allows them to reach their true potential. Her own finesse and grace is unmatched and it is through her guidance that I have grown as both a dancer and a person. Lasya Kathak Dance Academy is one of the premiere Kathak schools on the east coast and has performed at several notable venues. Kathak has become apart of me and Lasya Academy has truly become a second home for me. I would sincerely encourage anyone interested to consider joining because there is just such amazing growth I have seen in myself and the students - and Purvi ji makes it a phenomenal experience for all ages!
