Archana Pichumani

Hi
I am Archana (36 years old). I am from Ireland and taking online lessons with Lalithakalalaya. I learnt dance for few years during my schooling and lost touch for more than a decade. I was so curious to learn dance and joined six months ago. Mrs. Padmalakshmi is my teacher and she is very very talented and her patience level is extraordinary. She gives her heart and soul to dance and her passion towards dancing is really awesome. Her approach in understanding each and every student’s strength and weakness is highly commendable. I struggle a lot while dancing but she never gave/give up on me and make sure that I understand and gives me ample time to correct my mistakes. She ensures that while dancing we put in 100% effort and concentration. She takes both theory and practicals, so that the depth of a particular adavu/Jathi etc is easily understandable. I am so happy to be her student and She is a very special teacher to me. I thoroughly enjoy her classes and its a bliss to watch her dance.
