K Lakshmi Bhavani
I am Lakshmi Bhavani Konduru, teacher, performer, and an eternal student of Kuchipudi dance. Learning my first Kuchipudi steps at the feet of Padma Bhushan Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam master garu, I went on to train under gurus Sri Mahankali Mohan garu, and Sri Chinta Adinarayana Sarma garu . I then obtained a Master’s Degree in Performing Arts (Kuchipudi) from University of Hyderabad (1997). I have over 20 years of experience in practicing, performing, and teaching this delightful dance form. With a background in counseling psychology, I have also used dance movements as a therapeutic technique to help children with special needs, to great effect. I teach online classes for students who do not have access to local gurus, and for those who want personalized training. I also teach in-person classes in the San Francisco Bay Area near Fremont and provide workshops in the Southern California area. We offer several services for those who are just starting their path as a student of Kuchipudi dance as well as for those who have studied for some time.
Rated 5.0 I was looking to find a Kuchipudi dance teacher for my daughter in Fremont. After searching for a while, I came across Smt. Laxmi Bhavani Garu's profile. I contacted a few couple other gurus and then contacted her as well. My initial interaction with her lasted for almost an hour. I could sense the passionate, affectionate and caring personality just over the phone. She also mentioned that she is very particular about the quality of learning over the speed. I think I personally appreciated that, I wanted my daughter to learn dance from someone that is teaching it correctly. Also while conversing I mentioned to her that I was always interested and she suggested why not I join the class along with my daughter. I started going along with my daughter and fell in love with the style of classes she conducts. She is an amazing teacher with immense love for the art. She is great with kids and adults alike. She will give complete details as to what is needed to learn a particular step and how to practice it. She is a very affectionate person. She teaches each one at their own pace and that helps us better. So as a student and a mom of a student i definitely am grateful to have found her as my teacher
Rated 5.0 Ever since I was a child I have a passion for learning Kuchipudi dance, yet I never had a teacher who embraced and experienced a passion as strong as Ms. Lakshmi Bhavani. She is the most encouraging and understanding teacher I’ve had. Initially, I was hesitant to take online classes but turned out to be as good as going to the class in person. Currently, I take both online and in person classes in Fremont. She puts so much dedication and commitment to teach me to learn dance correctly. Her feedback includes all the details of each technique I learn, showing me that I should always aim for perfection. She not only shares her knowledge of Kuchipudi dance but also its theory. I feel fortunate to be one of Ms. Bhavani’s disciples, and I look forward to continuing learning the dance under her guidance.
Rated 5.0 Bhavani is a dedicated and passionate teacher. She will do her best to connect to all her students in a happier environment and knows to get best out of the students of all age groups. Consistent corrections from the teacher helped me to improve my basics steps and posture. I am very grateful to have her as my guru and look forward every week for her class.

Rated 5.0 I am a current student of Miss Lakshmi Bhavani. After coming across her profile in Sulekha I have called her and she responded in a friendly way. She took time to know completely about my persona before starting the classes giving a strong emphasis on why I chose her particularly among many guru's. The teaching style is very lucid yet clear to the very minute details. Her corrections and suggestions are very honest helping to rectify our mistakes immediately without carrying forward. She is very flexible with the changes in our schedules. Also the teaching experience is always one on one whatever may be the number of students in the class. Its a friendly learning environment. I am fortunate to have Miss. lakshmi Bhavani as my guru and I am strongly determined to practice Kuchipudi art form under her guidance for this lifetime.
