Experiences from our Kuchipudi community
"I have been learning dance since the age of four. But I've never found the best guru to learn. And then I found SLB. It is an amazing place to learn Kuchipudi. I've been learning kuchipudi here from my Guru, Dr. Vineela Rao garu since four years. She is very friendly and a lot inspiring. After coming and learning Kuchipudi here, gurugaru became my biggest inspiration. Her way of dancing is fabulous. We have no words to describe about her dance. Her teaching is also very professional and fun. We always come to class with new energy and excitement. And am really grateful that I have come to SLB. It's really great to be a student of gurugaru. Thank you."
