“Drasti's love for dance and willingness to teach is unparalleled. There is pure joy and a sincerity that emanates through the virtual workshops. My daughter and niece (both 4 years old) attended the Ganesh Chaturti workshop - they remained engaged, interested, and practiced the moves days later! It was incredible to see the uptake and enthusiasm. As a first generation immigrant and now mom of two, I know it will be increasingly difficult to pass on our culture and traditions to the second generation. I'm excited to have Divya Drasti School of Dance as a way to expose our children to South Asian culture and look forward to experiencing more.”

~ Niki, Mom of 2

“Drasti is not only a beautifully trained classical dancer, but her ability to fuse styles in her choreography and teachings makes learning fun for both beginners and experienced dancers of any age. As a former performer myself, I am thrilled to be able to keep dance in my life through her workshops and have my own daughters begin their Bharata Natyam training with Drasti!”

~ Parul S., Mom of 2

“When you watch Drasti dance, she looks like she is dancing in clouds. She is easily able to draw you into her world with a smirk or eye movement and engulf you into her entire performance. Most importantly, when Drasti dances, you can see a glimmer in her eyes. That glimmer is passion. Her passion is apparent when watching her perform, but when I took her Jathi Mix workshop, I experienced her love for teaching. Her genuine interest in each of her students was apparent from the very beginning. She meticulously taught every intricate step, paid attention to every question, and never diminished anyone’s feelings no matter how seasoned the dancer. Drasti’s creativity, patience, commitment and pure joy for dance make her an exceptional teacher for children and adults.”

“From the very first time we danced together, I was so inspired with Drasti’s creative process. Anyone can see she loves to choreograph, but it’s the minor details that she breaks down in a song such as the beats (rag), the formations, the story and the theme that make each of her dance pieces a perfect performance. She is able to capture the attention of those with varied dance backgrounds/styles, both children and adults alike.”
