I had the honor of learning from Pradeep Sir as a child for several years and it provided me with the best dance foundation. After many successful years as a computer engineer in California, I decided to start a dance company. And after 10+ years of being the largest Indian dance company in the Midwest of the USA, I still owe it all to my teacher.

Kalanjali is a place where we breathe in terms of dance. Words are not enough to describe the amount of dedication Sir has towards his art and students. The motivational historical stories during the class hours will be instilled in me throughout my life. The regular reminders given by Sir to do better has helped me to bring out the best in me. I owe every bit of my success to this institute.

Kalanjali for me is where I started my musical journey. I’ll always be indebted to the Kalanjali family for helping me become who I am. It all started here and I’m still growing along with it..

In 1997, I enrolled at Kalanjali Institute to study Bharatanatyam with Pradeep sir. Not only did the institute assist me in learning this classic art form, but it also helped me build my personality and confidence. In 2003, his guidance enabled me to win a scholarship from the Government of India.

Kalanjali can easily be called a place for me where it all began. Me as a child was shown to the world of music by this place for which I am and will forever be grateful for. I thank you Pradeep Sir and all the other wonderful people associated with this amazing venture of keeping the art alive.

Kalanjali - A conservatory for the budding prodigies of Indian cultural & traditional art at the very heart of India. Glad to have been associated with Kalanjali since my childhood days.
