A few words from Lavanya

 “I joined Bharathanatyam classes with Guru Preeti Vinayak Shah about a year ago, and have learned much in this year already. I enjoy coming to dance class, as there is always something new and challenging for me to understand and put into action.”

“This part of my dance career is very important to me, one of the reasons being that it supports a very good cause. I believe that it is a privilege to be a part of this program, and the best part is that I am able to do something that I love while being able help underprivileged children get an education in India."
