A wonderful academy that helps teacher and students to connect from across the world.
I love this institute because of it's kind teachers and graceful dances!!!!! This is in no way a bad place!!!!
Tai, the BMM show was fantastic, I loved every bit of it! Your ardhanareshwar was mesmerizing. Ghunghat and panihari were also very powerful. The girls’ performances interspersed with your powerful ones perfectly struck a beautiful balance. We are so fortunate to have you here and have you as our guru. We are immensely blessed. The awe of watching your shows has not diminished for me despite watching them up close for almost two decades now.
My experience is very good . I get detailed attention from.Guru Archana Her focus is so much on grammar, strength. Body alignment and riyaaaz I am loving it and best part is that she does everything as many as times till you get it People might not like her for being strict with Riyaaz but that’s what classical art form is all about I love her , she has knowledge depth of an ocean I am always excited / little nervous but prepared for her class . Wish I had found her long ago
Archana Tai is the true Guru. There isn’t anyone else who has the strength, dedication, and in-depth vision like Tai does. She focuses on grooming every single student and brings out the beauty in them. She is so precise in her choreographies and even while teaching, she makes sure to explain everything to her students. We don’t just learn how to move our bodies; we learn all the terms, and the meaning behind what we perform, and the science and math behind what we do. Tai makes it her responsibility to explain what we’re learning and how it connects to us at that very moment. Through Tai’s guidance, we have been fortunate to have the opportunity to perform on many stages and partake in many workshops and events. I have been a student of Tai’s for 9 years now, and I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to learn from her and to have her as my Guru.
Archana Arts is the best dance school for learning Kathak. If anybody wants to genuinely learn Kathak and hone the skills of the dance form, Archana Arts is the place. This school has a detailed curriculum, all the way from Beginners to Master’s level. Archana Arts embodies the rich culture of Indian heritage. Students are taught so much more than how to just move their bodies in rhythm. This school focuses on gracefulness and truly grooming the students into beautiful dancers. The knowledge of Archana Arts is vast and deep. It encompasses the technical side as well as the Bhav (expression) side of Kathak. This is the activity which helps your physical health and mental health. Anyone can learn this art form regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity.
As a student of six years at Archana Nrityalaya, I can proudly say that getting the opportunity to learn from Archana Tai has been one of the greatest blessings of my entire life. In fact, the impact of her tutelage, both in and outside of the classroom, cannot be quantified into the five stars of this rating. I highly doubt that it could be counted in thousands of them either. When I began learning with Archana Tai in sixth grade, I wasn’t very happy. Kathak dance had so many guidelines, so many rules. The dance required so much effort and discipline, and with Archana Tai as my guru, I had to strive for perfection. And I definitely was not disciplined or motivated enough to do it at that age, and it was because of my drawbacks that I almost considered quitting my tutelage. Today, I proudly say that continuing was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made. The rules that I eventually internalized define my character today, in both dance and society. Every single lesson in her studio is test of the decorum she has taught and continues to teach me: Do I appear confident and strong every time I move my body to the rhythm? How about my hair, my attire? Have I dressed to succeed in class? And lest we forget, how am I reciting poems and compositions? Is my performance acceptable, or exemplary? Most importantly, how do I respond to my critiques? Do I dare to retaliate out of sheer impulse, or accept my mistakes and respect both my progress and my teacher’s wishes and try again? I face the questions every single day when I return, and try to make the right decisions as Tai has taught me. Yes, Tai can be strict. She pays attention to the nitty-gritty details, and strives for intense perfection. She may break down her students to begin, but rebuilds then into future dancers and leaders. Her endless care for her students is reflected in every single conversation she has with her students. These attributes that distinguish her from other teachers and academies. The schooling that we students receive here is arguably beyond any other Kathak education we can receive. Here, we learn to push the boundaries the boundaries of ourselves and dance, so that we can do the same in life. Thank you, Archana Tai. For everything you have taught me and will continue to to teach me both inside and outside of your classroom.
I love the way Archana tai teaches… she has a warm attitude towards all her students and spends a great amount of time focusing on each and every one of them. Truly the best kathak teacher running one of the most prestigious kathak academies.
They say your Guru is your ‘Marg Darshak’, so for a classical dance form like Kathak, it was an obvious choice for us to go to Archana Tai. This is the perfect place for letting your child’s childhood flourish while they learn this beautiful dance form. Each child is given individual attention to make sure, they have the right pronounciation, Bhav, posture etc. We are seeing our beautiful little girls turn into graceful dancers with each passing year. And you know that you made the right choice when your child is begging you for summer camp after a full rigorous year of the Kathak. Archana Nrityalaya is not a dance school but an extended family for us.
I have been associated with ArchanaTai and her dance school for over 10+ years through my daughter who learns Kathak with her. Typically, I am a person of few words but feel compelled to write this review as my daughter is planning to finish her B.A. in Kathak soon. I have no doubt that Kathak and especially association with Tai is a big reason behind my daughters confidence, self-identity, musicality and pursuit of excellence in whatever she undertakes. Tai doesn’t just teach kathak, she imbibes in her students values of hard work, attention to detail, consistency and diligence. She takes effort to explain history of Kathak, meaning behind each lesson and shared stories of our cultural heritage. Tai uses the right balance between tough love and tenderness to ensure her students achieve their full potential. It is no surprise that the learning in her classroom goes beyond Kathak and makes its mark in academic, physical and spiritual worlds. If you are looking for serious Kathak training, you cannot find a better teacher and human being that you want your child to associate with and learn from. THANK YOU Tai for your wisdom and heart, and all the sweet things that you do. We are thankful to have you here in NJ!
Archana Nrityalaya has been an absolute godsend for us; my daughter has been learning Kathak for the past four years under the tutelage of Guru Archana Joglekar, and absolutely loves it. Tai, as she is fondly called by all her students, puts her heart and soul into making sure that all her students learn this beautiful art - she will continually challenge the students to stretch and improve their dance skills. Serious students only!
Hi Tai, It was a wonderful performance at the Rhythm of Life 2022as always.... You never cease to surprise me, rather amaze me ,and every time I come back impressed with the depth and breadth and range of your performance and talent. You outdo yourselves every time we all see you, in many respects. I remember the annual show of 2019, as I remember other shows of yours that I have attended and watched. I could go on and on about the artistic talent, the creativity, the choreography, the attention to detail and the combination of originality and choice of compositions that you have taken from the legends. You would have heard about all this from others too.. What impressed me also are the steps that you are taking to build the next level of talent for your academy and laying foundations of a lasting institution that can scale and grow to multiple levels.. I particularly liked the gesture to honor all faculties and PareshJi in particular. It is rare that an individual who is an excellent performer in his or her field is also good at managing, organizing, and institution building. This combination of multiple talents within you, along with organizational capabilities, and the teaching and institution building abilities is an exceptional combination seen rarely in creative artists. We feel thankful and blessed to have you as Guru for our kids... Our prayers for the continued growth of your art, craft and for the growth of this wonderful institution Archana Arts is promising to be
Great time learning dance with Art Gharana! I would recommend this stellar experience to anyone who has a yearning to learn Kathak!
It is an absolute pleasure to anttend Indian Vocals classes with Art Gharana. Not only have I seen significant improvement in my vocal technique, but I've also gained confidence to perform in front of an audience. My teacher creates a supportive and encouraging environment, tailoring lessons to my needs. His expertise and passion shines through in every class. I highly recommend Art Gharana singing classes to anyone looking to refine their craft or simply enjoy singing. You won't regret it!
My experience is good. The way of teaching is great
So far our experience is good. Support team is great. Only downside for us is not having an ability to track the progress in the online portal and no proper course material.
It’s working out good for me when I needed Art Gharana to accommodate in the next class because of my mom and my health . Al My teacher is great, he has encouraged me always that I can do this and is very patient.
I'm proud to have been a part of Artgharana's musical journey. This platform has fulfilled my longing to learn music, and I thank it for that. I would like to specially acknowledge my guru, Sri Roshan Shetty, whose teaching ability and empathetic understanding of student are truly praiseworthy.
Art Gharana offers team of professional teachers and staff who are patient, friendly and flexible. Their platform is easy to manage and the support team is prompt to respond on any sort of queries, concern or changes. I would highly recommend Art Gharana to anyone who is just beginning their journey of learning any Indian classical or fusion art form or an experienced individual looking to polish/practice their skills.
It is great online learning experience. Team is very helpful ...
Art Gharana has been an amazing place with so many different classes to choose from. I love that I don’t have to look elsewhere for what I need, and the flexible schedule makes it super easy to fit classes into my busy routine.
really good place to learn the music and I have been learning here from last 6 months, and I have seen so much progress in my learning, especially my teacher has so much of experience. I am so glad to be a part of Art Gharana.
My daughter Vaani has been learning dance ( semi classical and contemporary ) from Nritya creations from past 2 years. Her teachers Ms Serita and Ms Aayushma are excellent and very creative . We can see a lot of improvement in her dance with the technique used by the teachers. This has helped them to win competitions too!
Our daughter has trained in western dancing for several years. However, her love of Bollywood songs and movies led to her affinity with eastern dancing. She didn’t want to focus on just Bollywood dancing but wanted to pay homage to her South Indian roots and incorporate some form of classical dancing along with western dance techniques. Nritya Creations (NC)offered just that, an Indo-Contemporary class that incorporated Classical, Lyrical, and Jazz. NC and its teachers have provided a wonderful outlet for our daughter to perfect her technique and learn the art form. She has become even more confident and poised over the past 3 years, all the while having fun.
Had a great experience with learning at Nritya Creations.
Nritya Creations is an amazing dance institute that has taught me so much over the past 10 years. I love the teachers and the community I am surrounded in every practice, competition and recital. I am incredibly proud to be part of this team.
I'm taking the adult dance class with Shreya and she is very good with the instructions and help us move with our pace. Totally loving it.
Ms.Shreya is an amazing dancer, choreographer and teacher. She spends time explaining each and every step very nicely. Love her classes!
The show was amazing! Hats off to Archana Tai for working so hard to put this show together and to make it the best it can be. I had a guest from India who thoroughly enjoyed the performances and following are her own words: I would not have imagined to witness 3 and 1/2 hours of a pure classical show in the USA, which I have not even seen in India. The show was fabulous.
Year after year, the level of the performers keeps getting better. It is enthralling to see the progression of the little ones blossoming into such a fine dancers. But it would not have been possible if they had not find the Guru like Archana Tai. These kids are so blessed to have such Kathak legend like her in their life. And as the parents we are fortunate too. She and her faculty show students how far they have to go and what life long commitment to the art form means.
When you cannot decide which one of your favorite from an evening full of classical dances, you know that its an evening thoroughly enjoyed. Be it the little girls just stepping into Kathak or the beautiful girls who have learning this beautiful art for years. Of course, the cherry on the top is the back story presented behind each composition and your relationship to it.
I have seen several recitals over last 10 years thanks to my daughter's involvement. Archanaji's commitment, dedication, involvement in every single detail and the effortless ease with which you seem to make it all come together (though I know it can't be easy at all) is tremendously worthy of appreciation.
The annual show, 'Rhythm of Life' is just REMARKABLE, DISTINCT, MESMERIZING and it was so much more that few words cannot describe it. All of my family who came to see the show were just amazed to see such professional level performances by all the girls. Especially some of the short stories and your philanthropy towards Kathak came out good through your
Archanaji's passion, knowledge and art really shows as you watch every student as they perform! Coal needs to be put under pressure to become diamonds and the kids and their parents really get it!! The structure, the sequence, the pace, the selection, your performance and the culmination pieces - everything was outstanding and a visual treat.
I have been dancing with Nritya Creations since I was 9 years old, and attending the Bharatantyam and Indo-contemporary classes have truly allowed me to grow into the dancer I have become today. The emphasis that is placed on having flawless technique in every dance form has been especially helpful, and the lessons that I have learned throughout the years is something I know I will carry with me in the future, as well. The close-knit relationship between the teachers and students also creates an amazing culture in the studio. I can't thank all the teachers enough for everything they have done!
I’ve been learning at Nritya creations and enjoying all the different fusion styles from Semiclassical to bolly hip hop to indo contemporary for the past many years.I have developed as a dancer much more because of exposure to varied dance forms. Ms.Melanie’s style and demeanor are beyond par and I also enjoy Ms.Angelina’s exciting choreography which challenges us an advanced competition team each class. This has helped my cheer practice too by enhancing my focus in the dance routine part and being part of an amazing team of kids and inspiring professional teachers!
These teachers are really experienced and helped me learn so much. Very good choreography as well.
Well Experienced dance professionals for Indian classical dances program
My kids love their teacher at this dance academy in Edison. It helps them open up and have confidence in parties
My daughter has been going to Nritya Creations for 7 years. We absolutely love the quality of the teaching. The teachers are very experienced and disciplined. The transformation I have seen in my daughters dancing is just amazing. I highly recommend this institute for all types of dance.
My daughter is learning Kathak from Mrs. Ruee from last three years! Mrs.Ruee is a great teacher and my daughter enjoys and thoroughly loves her classes. Mrs.Ruee is so patient and connects so well with kids. All the kids in her class love her.

I would like to share my experience with you that it was my privilige to learn vocal music from meetkalakar by the mercy of my music teacher It was very difficult to find time from my busy schedule to learn music because of my working hours but due to online vocal music class i could understand the basics of classical music. Therefore i thank meetkalakar team and offer my obeisance unto my music teacher Gaanheera.
Hi Richa ji, hope you are doing fine... Just wanted to let you know that I am quite enjoying my Sitar classes and it's wonderful to have someone like Rafat ji as my teacher. Thank you. From Roshini Dubey
it's very humbling. Person half my age has much more knowledge and talent than me. ...jokes apart. I liked it. I realized I had to practice a lot. Will do. As I said my end goal is not to perform r anything. I want to enjoy music better.
Meetkalakar support staff has been extremely responsive and diligent for all my queries. Their services are efficient and timely. Pallaviji is an awesome teacher. Her teaching caters to the potential and skill level of the individual and she is extremely particular about the rendition of each sur ! She is also very flexible on logistics and timings as may be needed from time to time in a hectic lifestyle.

Finding Your Rhythm: Choosing the Ideal Kathak Dance Class for You Kathak's fascinating expressions, rhythmic footwork, and captivating spins make it one of the most graceful Indian classical dance forms. As this ancient North Indian art form continues to capture hearts globally, Kathak dance classes are gaining immense popularity across the USA and Canada.
The Enchanting Origins of Kathak Kathak, one of the eight classical dances of India, has an enchanting history that spans thousands of years. Rooted in the word 'Katha,' which means story, this dance form initially began as a medium to narrate mythological tales. These stories, drawn from ancient scriptures, were brought to life by traveling bards across temples of North India. The Evolution and Styles
Kathak is one of the eight major forms of Indian classical dance, originating from northern India. It is known for its intricate footwork, expressive hand gestures, and graceful movements. The word "Kathak" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Katha," which means story, and the dance form is often used to tell stories through movement and expression.
