TESTIMONIALS

I've done multiple performance and Bollywood choreography classes with Oorja this year. Devanshi brings a level of professionalism to Bollywood dance in Toronto that is very difficult to find. She embraces different body types and abilities and is a truly supportive and encouraging teacher. Yes she teaches choreography but she also teaches you about body mechanics and how to use your body to best support you through all the steps without hurting yourself. Her classes are fun, she puts her students first and challenges us to do better. She's earned a fan in me for life!

- Shruti Srinivasan

Love taking classes with Devanshi! She's knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about teaching. The classes are fun, engaging, and challenging, pushing you to improve technique and confidence. I've also met some amazing people in the class! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, I highly recommend these classes. Can't wait to see what the future holds!"
