Testimonials

Shriyadita Nandakumar

I have had the pleasure of learning Odissi at Nrutyadhara Foundation under the guidance of Guru Smt. Prajna Mishra for the past nine years, and it has been a transformative journey. Nrutyadhara Foundation has not only played a major role in my dance journey but has also contributed significantly to my personal growth.

Guru Smt. Prajna Mishra is an exceptionally patient teacher who fosters a love for dance and inspires us to become thoughtful, expressive, and passionate dancers, as well as good human beings. She delves into the emotions, stories, and meanings behind each piece, which helps deepen our connection to the art form and instills a profound appreciation for Indian culture. Over the last nine years, I have made significant progress in my dancing, and I have also developed essential life values such as discipline and teamwork.

I will forever be grateful to Nrutyadhara Foundation for helping me discover my profound passion for dance, igniting my spirit, and allowing me to express myself in a way that transcends words. I wholeheartedly recommend Nrutyadhara Foundation to anyone seeking a well-rounded dance education with dedicated and passionate teachers.

I’ve been learning Odissi for nine years under the guidance of Guru Smt. Prajna Paramita Mishra at Nrutyadhara Foundation in Bangalore, India. And to me, Nrutyadhara isn’t just a dance institute; it’s my second home. What truly sets Nrutyadhara apart is the dedication and passion of its teachers: the remarkable ability they have to nurture one’s talent while instilling a deep appreciation for the intricacies of Odissi. Their lessons go beyond just the steps; they delve into the history, mythology, and cultural significance behind each movement, truly enriching the learning experience.

This exceptional training has opened doors for us to perform in several beautiful locations, such as the Mysore Palace, Hyderabad NTR Stadium, Tirupati Balaji Temple, Vellore Golden Temple, and IGCIC Mauritius under the recommendation of ICCR. The supportive environment fostered here has not only helped me excel in Odissi but has also instilled a sense of discipline and perseverance I carry with me in all aspects of my life.

So, if you’re looking for an Odissi institute that prioritises not just technical mastery but also fosters a deep appreciation for the art form, then Nrutyadhara Foundation is the place to be.

I have been a part of Nrutyadhara Foundation for nearly 6 years. It is a community full of creativity and a place where friendships blossom. It is an institute of Odissi dance including students of various ages, backgrounds, cultures, skills and talents. Our guru, Smt. Prajna Mishra, is incredibly talented and ensures that all students’ potential is nurtured to the fullest.

She makes sure no student is left out from the class and has kindled a spark in us that we never knew existed. I have continued learning here for so long for this reason, because no other place could be as welcoming and inspiring as Nrutyadhara Foundation. Prajna ma’am has made sure I
improve in what I do and work hard to achieve my goals. She has really believed in me and made me believe in myself. She has included us in several prestigious events all over India.
