Student's remarks
It has been a few years ( even before the pandemic) I started online classes with Enakshi.These classes are one on one. Under Enakshi's guidance, I have been able to work on my weaknesses and improve on my style and technique. Enakshi constantly pushes me to clock in more practice hours which otherwise become a challenge given a full time job and a young family. Enakshi understands dance, individual body types and inclinations very well. She is a very intelligent artist and a dedicated teacher. I look forward to her classes every week.
My dance teacher is an exceptional instructor in the art of Odissi dance. Her dedication, expertise, and passion for the dance form have made a profound impact on my life. She prioritizes a holistic approach to learning and despite the challenges of online teaching, she adeptly creates a full dance experience with global group dances, all from the comfort of my home.. She has fostered a deep love and respect for Odissi within me, and I am grateful for the invaluable lessons she has imparted.
Enakshi Sinha is a wonderful teacher. I have been learning virtually from her for more than 7 yrs now. Even when teaching virtually she looks into the details very minutely. She is always very focused while teaching. I am glad that I got the opportunity to learn Odissi dance from her.
Enakshi Sinha, my dance teacher, has been a transformative influence in my life. Her classes have taught me valuable dance skills and pushed me to step out of my comfort zone. With her unwavering support and guidance, she has created a family-like atmosphere where I have grown as a dancer and as an individual. I am grateful for her influence, as it has shaped the person I am today both in and out of dance.
I am privileged to have learned Odissi dance under the exceptional guidance of my dance teacher Enakshi Di. Her expertise and passion have elevated my skills and deepened my understanding of this beautiful art form. Through her patient and motivational teaching approach, I have been growing not only as a dancer but also as an individual, embracing the profound cultural heritage encapsulated by Odissi. I am truly grateful for her influence on my dance journey.
I had the privilege of receiving close, one-on-one guidance from Enakshi di. I discovered my strengths and learned how to maintain them, and became aware of my weaknesses and how to overcome them. Working with Enakshi di has heightened my awareness as a dancer and molded my personality. I absorbed not only movements and style, but also the mindset of a true artist. Enakshi di taught me the lifestyle choices of a true artist, how to carry yourself with dignity and grace, how to be in love with life, and most importantly, how to be a good human being.
