Naad Studios

"I joined Naad Studios as a student under Neha Patel back in 2013, from the start she has been a teacher that devotes all her energy into teaching her students. Be it for a performance or for an annual show, Neha is the one who goes out of her way to ensure each student/group gets ample practice even it that means having super long days at the dance studio for her. As a teacher, she has a keen eye in understanding your strengths and weaknesses and ensuring we keep honing our skills. I absolutely love her imagination around choreographing new compositions and her brilliant skill on effectively covering stage movements in a dance. Under Neha's guidance I have not only graduated to become a better dancer but also began my journey of teaching dance. Neha has been instrumental in encouraging me to try new avenues be it teaching or getting better at Abhinaya. Over my 6 years of experience with Neha and Naad studios, I have seen a teacher that relentlessly works for her students and a school that has a solid grounding in its principles. I am grateful to Neha for having me to be a part of the Naad studios family."

"Neha Patel is an amazingly gifted dance instructor. Her commitment, passion, patience, and professionalism helped my daughter learn Bharatnatyam. The focus and precision my daughter learned through this classical dance form helped her in many aspects of her life, including academics. I highly recommend Neha Patel and Naad Studios to anyone interested in authentic and skilled classical Indian dance instruction."

"Neha Aunty has been my Bharatanatyam teacher for over 10 years. Through my years with her, I have grown so much as a dancer and a person under her guidance. We have performed countless shows around San Diego and California, including for ifaasd. She has been a tremendous help throughout the process of preparing for my arangetram, and has always pushed me to go the extra mile."

"My daughter is 8 years old. She is going to Bharathanatyam Class in Naad Studios for almost an year. She likes the class so much and loves learning from Ms.Neha Patel. Ms.Neha Patel is an amazing teacher who loves working with these kids and fine tune their skills. She is very friendly. We are so much satisfied with the learning in Naad Studios. Here are some of the pictures from the performance of my daughter with her friends from Naad Studios."

"My daughter has been taking Bharatnatyam lessons at Naad Studios for over an year now and she loves it. As a parent I feel that she is receiving the best knowledge about Bharatnatyam from one of the best teachers in town. Ms. Neha Patel gives a lot of importance to the technique and you can see it in her students performances. Along with the dance, the kids are also learning a lot of theory."
