Rated 5.0 Both my girls have been going to Mona since they were 5 and 7 years respectively. That was almost ten years back! And they still go to her for Kathak classes every week. Mona is the best teacher they could have had. I have seen both girls grow and improve so much in their dance.

Rated 5.0 Mona jee is highly professional and so supportive of her students! I started Kathak on a whim after watching my sister’s class. Though I was incredibly nervous and awkward at first, Mona Jee taught me how to use my nervous, awkward limbs to create something beautiful. She helped me build my confidence and has been supportive and understanding through so much! No one does it like her.
