My daughter learns Kathak from Arpita Roy since last 7+ years, and she has learnt this beautiful dance form very gracefully, adding right techniques for it. She has done numerous performances with her group, under Arpita's teaching, and won many awards for the same. We are very happy with his class, and would highly recommend it.
