Best Odissi Dance Teachers & Classes in Reseda, CA

My daughter have been going to Netra Center for a year and she learn Bharathanatyam under Deepa's guidance. Deepa is a brilliant dancer, an amazing teacher and a role model to all her students .I really appreciated her friendly attitude and way of teaching. My daughter say her teacher is a nicest teacher ever I would agree.She communicates well her students and their families. Deepa for offering classes for adults who wants to learn dance. I recommend it for all ages.

My daughter and I have been coming here for the past 1 year. It is a fun and encouraging environment for anyone who wants to learn dance. I highly recommend Netra Arts.

We discovered Netra Center for Arts just this autumn when we were looking for arts classes for our 7 y.o. son. And we were lucky to do so! The atmosphere is very kind and loving for the kids to learn and enjoy arts. My son looks forward to each and every class and runs to the studio, impatient to start. The teachers, who work with him, Deepa and Latusa (I am sorry if I misspelled the name) are very knowledgeable and really patient. The art classes are group classes, but the groups are small, and the teachers give enough individual time to each student. I have no reason to give fewer than 5 stars.

I wanted to rejoin Bharatnatyam dance for almost last 9 years but was very busy with studies and job so never got any chance to join. When I moved to the bay area with my family, I found netra arts for bharatnatyam and took a trial class. I really enjoyed my first class. The environment was very friendly. And now, I'm learning Bharatnatyam from Deepa ma'am for last 7 months and it's been a great experience so far. Her teaching is methodical and thorough.There are good opportunities to perform in public as well. I hightly recommend Netra Arts.

Deepa has been a great teacher for my 6 year old. My daughter has been attending the classes for a year now. She looks forward to attend the classes and have valuable time at her dance classes. The teacher care for students and their learning in dance steps. I will recommend Netra Arts for all

Netra Center for Arts and Culture is full of tradition and culture. I learned Kuchipudi a few years ago and when I moved to the Bay Area, I knew I wanted to complete the Dance and Deepa is an amazing artist with extensive knowledge of Classical dances not limited to Kuchipudi. She is an inspiration when she dances!

I have been learning dance from Deepa Menon for the last one year. The place feels very warm, almost like a family. Deepa ma'am is extremely talented and teaches multiple forms of classical dance along. I really have fun going to her class and performing with the girls

We were lucky to find Netra Dance Studio for our daughter. Deepa is a wonderful teacher. She's very patient with the kids and will make sure each and every one is learning all the steps, even if it means taking more time per class/student. We are extremely happy with the classes!

My daughter is learning Bharatnatyam in Deepa teacher's class for 2 years, Deepa is really a great teacher, all the kids loves her, she is very patient with kids. My daughter loves her each dance class, we are very happy with the Netra arts and Deepa teacher and we highly recommend it

Deepa is an amazing teacher . My daughter goes to her indian classical dance from the age of 4. It's been going great so far. It not a very overwhelming environment , so my daughter loves to go back there every week. I would recommend Netra center for classical dance or music for any age.

My nine-year old daughter has been going for the past year and half to Netra Center to learn Kuchipudi dance from Deepa Menon. She is a one of the most dedicated teachers I have seen and I don't mean only among dance teachers. In addition to teaching dance, Deepa often comes up with various ways to improve the learning experience for the students. Some examples are explaining the theory behind the dance, telling relevant mythological stories, adding basic music lessons, encouraging them to perform on stage to improve their confidence, maintaining a warm, inviting, and a 'green' studio with a small carbon footprint. Deepa also has excellent contacts in the city, which enables her to arrange several programs that give her students opportunities to perform. I am very grateful to Deepa, for being such an excellent teacher to my daughter.

This review is long overdue. My daughters have been going to Netra Arts Dance studio (for Bharatnatyam) for 9 months now. Our experience has been nothing but fantastic. Deepa Menon is absolutely wonderful, very talented and her passion towards her work shows through her students. She ensures that her students are involved and are dedicated to learning. Her advanced-level students are amazing leaders themselves. They follow their leader and are led by a perfect example of talent and passion. We are lucky to have found a perfect environment for our kids to learn about dance, music, culture and above all TO HAVE FUN!!!

Great teacher, regular schedule

My daughter has been learning bharathanatyam from Dr Malini Krishmoorthy for the past few years now. Malini instills the passion for dance in the kids from early on. She is so friendly and connects to the kids so well that it provides a very warm environment for the kids to learn. Her choreography, attention to detail, and rigorous training prepares the kids to feel proud and confident of their dance journey. Thanks to Mailini for passing on this authentic traditional bharathanatyam skills to the next generation growing up outside India. #grateful

Malini’s a great Bharatanatyam dancer . My twin girls learned Bharatanatyam from Malini for around 9 months and during this period , I have seen great progress in their interest towards dance and also seen great progress in their learnings . I recommend Malini to anyone looking for a dance teacher around the West Covina area .

My daughters have been learning bharatanatyam from Malini aunty for the past 5 years. Aunty is amazing with kids and knows how to make the classes both fun and disciplined. They picked up the basics really quickly. Unlike other dance schools, Natyanjali school strictly follows the orthodox traditional parampara. Besides dancing, my girls also learn a lot about Indian culture in her classes. Most of the dance videos are uploaded to the website's learning module, which is really helpful for practicing at home. Despite her age, she is very active and hands-on during class. I also appreciate her attention to every detail, from makeup and music to photography and ethnic dressing. We had a fantastic experience during the annual performance. There are also performances during Dussera and at the temple for exposure. Even during the COVID year, she went the extra mile by conducting Zoom classes and additional rehearsal sessions before each performance.

Everything positive multigenerational

It has been an honor to learn from my guru, Dr. Malini Krishnamurthi - she is an exemplary teacher who conducts each class with compassion and kindness. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of dance incorporating theory, confidence building, and wellness!

I have known about Malini and her dance school for years. It is an incredible amazing institution run by Malini as one of the best schools whose performances produced as very eye catching and pleasant. The director Malini is not only high class with her students but very pleasing. Hope it would continue for a long time in the LA area

Being a student of Ms. Malini is a privilege. I was very apprehensive when I tried out a class with Ms. Malini but when I finished the class I was even more inspired and motivated to take up Bharatanatyam lessons. I’m probably Ms. Malini’s oldest student and I absolutely love that fact! She’s a wonderful teacher and guide. More power to her ???.
