Testimonial on a Surprise House Party by Devangi: March 20 2020
Why Devangi is the best?
Testimonial By Anjali Mehta-Phull: Extremely Talented Dance Teacher
Devangi Dharani is a very unique, creative and extremely talented dance teacher. I have personally been fortunate enough to have participated several times in her adult group classes to prepare for events such as Weddings, Sangeet, Birthdays and other such events.
Devangi puts a lot of effort into choreographing each dance and makes it pleasing as well as lots of fun. During practice for the events, I was always looking forward to each class. She is very encouraging and makes sure each participant is following the steps and the group as a whole is coordinated.
One of the highlights of my daughter's wedding reception were two "couple's dances" that she choreographed. One was with our in-laws and the other was with a group of five couples of different age groups. Both dances received rave reviews.
If you want to make your special event unique, you can be sure that Devangi will put all her creative energy into it. If you have any interest in dancing to music, there is no better fitness center than Dharani's dance studio.
Testimonial By Deepa Prabhu: Adult student of Wedding Group Dance
I got to meet and learn dance from Devangi at her dance studio as I was participating in a wedding reception's group dance from groom's side. I immediately got connected with her. I loved her sweet voice and her ever smiley, and friendly nature. She is very punctual, and very energetic and that would motivate me and others to get up and going. I saw pictures of her dance performances with her students of all ages including students as young as four years old. I found her to be very creative as her dances are from various parts of India. The costumes and props are varied for different styles of dances. Above all I feel that she connects with people easily because she teaches from her heart. She loves what she does.
We were 10 ladies ranging in all ages from 17 to almost 60 years old. She choreographed dance in such a way that each one of us was comfortable performing including very energetic moves for youngsters and comfortable moves for elderly dancers. It was a perfect mix of fun with great work out!
To my surprise I found that she is also a great singer. She performs vocal shows at wedding receptions and many such private celebrations. She has an inborn talent! Our dance at the reception was a great success. All thanks to her.
I highly recommend her whenever anyone has a function at their place or just wants to learn dance or get in shape. I am sure anyone who books her for their function will be highly delighted that they did so.

Devangi Aunty taught me many things from learning grace to learning how to get comfortable performing in front of people. She was always patient and kind and I always had fun in every dance she coregraphed. She is an amazing dancer and so much more.

Devangi Auntie is a great dancer, choreographer, and instructor! She made both the dance practices and the performances so fun and memorable! She chose great songs- of different styles- for us to perform to, giving us the opportunity to dance to varying styles. Devangi Auntie also explained the meaning of the lyrics and our gorgeous dance moves as well, giving us a clearer view of what we were trying to convey through our performance. I loved the environment of her classes as they were always a great mix of fun and work. In the end, I loved learning dances from her!

Devangi is a very good dance instructor! She makes her classes challenging but easy to learn at the same time. My 14 yr old daughter loves learning from her and performing with her high school age group.
Veena Gowda: Taking Dance Class From Past thirteen years
My children and I have taken dance classes from Devangi for the past thirteen years. Initially, it was only my two young boys who took classes but then it moved to parents joining their children in dances and then adults only dances. Devangi is able to teach the youngest of children to the more senior adult. She is a truly gifted teacher in that not only is she very talented at choreographing dances, she is able to break down difficult steps and patiently teach each and every person until they get it right. For special occasions, she is willing to take any song of your choosing and choreograph the dance to your liking and ability. Devangi zeal for dance spreads to her students until even you feel like a "dancing queen". My children and I have thoroughly enjoyed taking lessons with her and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone interested in learning folk or Bollywood dance.
Devangi is a true performer in that not only can she sing songs beautifully, she commands the floor as she does so and engages the audience. I would highly recommend her for any special occasion such wedding, birthday, anniversary, etc. She is a delight to hear and watch.
