Priti was great with my daughter. She was patient while teaching her and got her excited to learn and follow the steps. She understood when the child was getting tired and changed the lesson accordingly. She has sound knowledge of the dance art and teaches it well. She focuses on teaching structure to children from a young age so that they have a good dancing foundation. My daughter was able to learn dance along with some of our culture which was very important to me.
Also, Priti was very accommodating with my schedule. She moved the class timings so that we could attend. We really enjoyed our sessions with her.

Priti is super professional, kind, and an incredible dancer and instructor. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to dance. She is able to teach from experience and based off of special requested videos. If you are looking for a fun, high energy, professional and comfortable dance lesson, she is the person to teach it!

We’ve just started working with Priti to do dance lessons for our wedding. We got so much out of just the consultation lesson! She was so thorough in getting to what we wanted, who we were, and what we were hoping for from the experience. So excited to work with her to perfect our first dance!!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Priti for our April 2018 wedding. We are not natural dancers (although my husband begs to differ), but Priti worked with us to choreograph the first dance routine that we were excited to perform. We left our final rehearsal feeling confident in our progress and ready to “WOW!” our guests with a romantic and elegant performance.
Priti was fun, upbeat, and really knows her stuff. She was patient with our learning level and took the time to observe and teach us every step and also to the indicate where we were most comfortable and relaxed. Being sultry is not my forte, however she was very encouraging in helping me to come out of my shell. Not only did she teach us these cool dance steps; she also catered each routine to our personalities, which added a personal touch to our piece.
Another benefit to working with Priti was she had us record ourselves dancing before the end of each lesson, so we had a video to review when we practiced at home. It really helped to learn the steps that way and improve where needed.
We would highly recommend anyone who is willing take a chance on the dance floor or get out of their shell; whether it’s to wow a crowd or just for themselves.
Thank you Priti for giving us this experience and being a part of special day!
Details: Two (e.g., myself and my husband) • First dance • Waltz • Slow Dance • Beginner • Once a week • 60 minutes • Saturday • Sunday • Morning (9am - noon) • Late afternoon (3 - 6pm) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Evening (after 6pm) • I travel to the wedding dance instructor

Priti was so kind and patient with us. We were very stressed because of the wedding planning but taking her class relieved some of that. Our first dance was wonderful and taking lessons with Priti made us feel more comfortable on the dance floor.
