Kuchipudi Dance Classes in Sunnyvale/Santa Clara, CA | Abhinaya AcademyWhy Choose Our Sunnyvale and Santa Clara Classes?

My daughter has been learning kuchipudi from Smt Usha garu for over a year. Usha garu is such a passionate and dedicated teacher who also makes classes so enjoyable that kids are looking forward to her classes. She is so friendly with the kids yet makes them accountable with homework videos. She takes the time to go through each video patiently and corrects each kid for their position, mudras and expressions. She takes time to explain the bhavam(meaning) of each song to make sure kids give the right expressions. Her bonding with students is immensely strong as she treats them like her own children. We feel very fortunate to have her as our daughter’s guru!

Usha ma’am is amazing teacher ! My daughter who was not interested in classical dance now is in love with kuchipudi!! I love how ma’am is so accommodating and makes sure that all students get proper practice and learning sessions. I am glad I found you ma’am !!

I am very fortunate to have Usha garu as my girls’ Kuchipudi teacher. She has a very friendly attitude towards kids and goes out of the way to connect with them. Initially, my girls were apprehensive to join Kuchipudi classes but everything changed after the ‘magical’ trial class with Usha garu. Now, they thoroughly enjoy the art form and eagerly wait to attend her classes. She’s been teaching my daughters for over a year now and they’ve already performed at numerous events. She has the expertise and the experience and she’s passionate towards dance and teaching kids. Thank you so much Usha Garu for all the support you’ve given my kids to give their best.

My daughter loves going to the Kuchipudi class by Ushagaru. She started a couple of years back and has made and performed at multiple rehearsals and events already under Ushagaru's guidance. My daughter is always very excited about the class and also makes sure she does her homework and sends her assignment to Ushagaru every week and makes sure she doesnt stay behind. Ushagaru has made my daughter self driven in what she is learning. My daughter enjoys the class and she has literally made a community of friends and knows and plays with all the other students. For us we are very happy to have built a community of care and guidance from this activity which we are keen on building into our child over the coming years. Ushagaru is very experienced teacher and actually enjoys teaching even younger kids than my daughter who is 8 now. I cant thank Ushagaru enough for instilling the interest for Kuchipudi dance which is by itself perfection in expressions and beautiful choreography expressed towards God and imbibed in telugu culture. My daughter also has picked up a lot of telugu culture being born in Usa, through this and also understands and is keen on learning the language which is part of the songs she sings while dancing every time. From the classes which happen twice a week once at Aria University and once online, my daughter has picked up a lot over these 2 years. We are very thankful for having such a great teacher and indebted to Ushagaru.

Usha is a very passionate and dedicated kuchupudi dance teacher. She helped my daughters train for their Rangetram. It was hard for the kids but she motivated them continously and they performed their arangetram successfully.

My daughter has been learning Kuchipudi under the aegis of Usha ma'am since she was 6 years of age. Usha ma'am is dedicated and invested in each of her pupils and goes the extra mile to guide them into becoming proficient dancers. My daughter refused to discontinue her classes even after we relocated and even after ma'am relocated. The bond they share is special and sacred.

My daughter Taashvi has been learning from Usha Mam since past 4 years and it's been an honour to have her as our Guru for my daughter. Usha Mam is very diligent in her work and takes outmost care to ensure that her students learn each step correctly and keeps pushing her students to strive their best. She is a perfectionist and takes extra effort for every performance ensuring that every thing from dance steps to costumes, are up to mark. My daughter really loves her and we are fortunate to have her as our Guru.

It is truly an honour knowing and interacting with such great guru 🙏
