Mrs. Dina Sheth
Kruti Dance Academy
Since 1995, Kruti Dance Academy has been the gold standard in both Bharatanatyam and Bollywood dance, offering specialized classes in each discipline. Founded by Mrs. Dina Sheth to inspire cultural pride in Indian-American youth, Kruti has grown into one of the nation’s premier Indian dance institutions, now guided by Artistic Director Shemoni Parekh. Located in Atlanta, GA, Kruti’s state-of-the-art, 9,000-square-foot facility provides an immersive environment where students refine their skills in dedicated classes for Bharatanatyam and Bollywood. Through expert training and acclaimed performances, Kruti fosters artistic excellence, discipline, and a lifelong connection to Indian heritage.
Rated 5.0 I highly recommend Kruti Dance Academy, the time and dedication spent with each and every one of their students shows out in all their performances, whether it be during recitals or just learning the dances right at the school. My daughter has been a student at Kruti for 6 years and I've seen her grow in her dances and movements, and its all thanks to Kruti Dance Academy.
Rated 5.0 Our 6 year old daughter is deeply enjoying learning Bharatnatyam at Kruti Dance Academy. Their team does a great job of challenging the students while keeping it fun and engaging. We are always so amazed to see all the hard work of the students shine on recital day. The founder and artistic director are incredibly dedicated and passionate about dance, the students and their community. We feel so blessed to be a part of the Kruti family and would highly recommend this academy to anyone who is interested in learning Bharatnatyam or Bollywood dance.
Rated 5.0 Watching my daughter grow as a dancer and an individual has been an incredible journey for our family, and Kruti Dance Academy has played a pivotal role in that transformation. Under the guidance of Dina Sheth and Shemoni Parekh, she developed discipline, perseverance, and a deep appreciation for Bharatanatyam. Her experiences at Kruti, including volunteering, taught her not only dance but also responsibility, time management, and the effort that goes into every performance. The culmination of this journey, her Arangetram, will be a true reflection of years of commitment and growth. As a mother, I’ve also grown through this process. I’ve learned to be more patient, disciplined, and to truly appreciate the beauty of Bharatanatyam. Getting my daughter ready for the annual recital used to be a challenge, but Kruti made it easier by training me too. We are incredibly grateful to Kruti Dance Academy for the role it has played in shaping not only my daughter as a dancer but also as a person. We look forward to what the future holds for her, knowing that Kruti will always be a part of her foundation.
Rated 5.0 Highly recommended Kruti Dance Academy. The passion and dedication that Dina Aunty, Shemoni and the entire team put into nurturing each and every student is second to none! The end of year Dance Recital was spectacular and a must watch!
Rated 5.0 My name is Archith Seshadri and I am a journalist and yoga teacher based in Atlanta, Ga. I met Shemoni Parekh in college more than two decades ago and was always mesmerized when I saw a Kruti dance performance on stage at our annual Holi shows. Over the years, I've seen the Kruti Dance Academy grow in many ways. They made the wildcard round in NBC's America's Got Talent, performed in a reality TV show called Chak Dhoom Dhoom in India on Colors TV, and paraded through the streets of New York City during the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. So it was only natural for me to fulfil a lifelong dream -- to not just watch such amazing dances but also learn and become part of the dance family. That's why I decided at the age of 39, I would enroll in Kruti Dance Academy just as we were on the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the past few years, I feel much more confident, energized, motivated and comfortable as a dancer on stage -- a skill I never had! The school puts on Broadway quality dance shows every year with finesse, vibrance and flawless execution. I share my own story to inspire other people to never use age as a number to pause your dreams. Kruti Dance Academy has classes in person in Atlanta, GA and also virtual zoom classes where students can join from all over the world. You can also learn just to learn and not worry about performing at a recital. And most importantly, our Adult Bollywood dance class has helped me create some great friends who share a united passion for dance! This past year, I also added Bharatnatyam (classical Indian dance) to the repertoire. If I can juggle a demanding job and a crazy schedule and make time for movement, so can you - cheers to the academy for 30 years of excellence and to many decades more! A huge thanks to Dina Aunty (founder) and Shemoni for the brilliance and artistry -- a wonderful creation (Kruti means to create).
