Kuchipudi Dance Classes in San Ramon, CA | Abhinaya AcademyWhy Choose Our San Ramon 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!

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, Aanya, has been learning Kuchipudi from Usha for the last 6+ years. We have been really fortunate to have someone as accomplished as Usha teach Aanya. Usha is extremely patient and encouraging with her students and one of the reasons most students who started out learning alongside Aanya are still with her. Usha also ensures all her students get to participate in stage performances irrespective of their learning experience. This keeps the students' interest high. Aanya started learning Kuchipudi from Usha when she was 5.5yrs old and in less than 6 months Aanya was performing on stage. Usha puts in a lot of hard work with her students. Her classes usually always extend and she conducts a lot of extra classes to prepare her students for performances or certification exams. On top of it she insists on homework videos and provides regular feedback. All her students truly admire and respect her. As a parent, I feel so proud to see Aanya grow and get better as a dancer. Aanya has also won Kuchipudi dance competitions under Usha's guidance. More importantly, Usha is a wonderful person and I am so happy to have her be part of Aanya's growing up years and have a positive influence in how Aanya is shaping up as an individual.

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 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.

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.
