.It was very well organised summer school. The Gurus were very friendly and approachable. The dance lessons were brilliant and the Gurus were very inspirational. I loved the interactive sessions and the evening performances.

I really appreciated the direct contact with the teachers and enjoyed the evening shows and their diversity.

Performances, discussions were all very inspiring. I liked the morning warm up exercises. . Programme generally started on time despite the large number of participants. I was touched by the fact that the organisation is so passionate about Indian dance and has brought such talents to aspiring dancers.

DANCE-INDIA was very exciting and enjoyable programme. It was an honor to learn from such legendary Gurus. I loved the performances every evening.

We had fantastic teachers and I enjoyed the interaction with all of them. I really enjoyed the in-conversation sessions and evening performances. It was great to meet dance students from other countries. It was a great learning experience overall!

DANCE-INDIA was very exciting, challenging and very intense programme. I enjoyed learning from great Gurus and meeting other dance students.

Performances were amazing. A real privledge to listen, watch, to talk to the tutors. I liked having a dedicated warm up/yoga each day. I liked that were less gaps in the day - it felt that the timetable was much more structured and less time wasted. The resource centre was new to me and i thought it was really useful.

I liked the whole experience. Everybody is so open and freiendly. It was great fun, we learnt a lot, but still had a lovely time.

It's such a holistic experience - it's not just about dance and that's what impresses me most about the summer school.

I enjoyed learning from such a ledendary teachers and working alongside fellow student. I really enjoyed norning yoga and how intense the week was.

I loved all classes, all the interactive sessions, most of the evening performances and especially in-conversation with teachers. Overall schedule for the day was good!

The atmospher and enviorment of being able to dance, think about dance and learn so much about the many aspects of life, that it influences 24/7. Being surrounded by so many like minded passionate people has been truly satisfying and such a fullfilling learning experience. The teachers & musicians ! Truly wonderful, amazing, inspring human beings.

This is my first time ever to attend a dance summer school and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The friendly organisers, the interactive sessions, the warm-up sessions, the knowledge gained from the Gurus through their teaching and the cultural ehos in the whole area were good. The whole programme is carefully designed which makes me want to come next time too.

I enjoyed all aspects of Dance India, there was nothing I didn't enjoy. I especially enjoyed the yoga in the morning as it made me feel good for the rest of the day.
