Rhythm-India Testimonials

Ever since 'Rhythm-India' hosted the "Dance for Life Gala" in December 2008, to raise funds for a hospital in India, the interest and fervor to be part of these structured and yet fun-filled classes has multiplied. Arzan Gonda's dedication and love for the art and her students shines through, when you witness her performances. Everyone enjoys attending her dance classes and we all love what we get out of it - fitness, rhythm, fun, and fulfillment. I've only been part of this since August 2008 and I love every minute of it.--Persis Behramshah

I joined Rhythm India at the age of ten and it has been one of the best phases of my tiny life :)..I am really not surprised to see my mom & some of her friends also sign up for the adult beginner's dance class.

Thanks to Rhythm India I've made so many wonderful friends & everlasting memories performing on stage with them, which I am sure I will cherish for the rest of my life. Since I've joined your classes I have not only built up my self-confidence, character & attitude but also improved my physical as well as mental makeup immensely. You have instilled self-discipline, dedication to dance & true perseverance in me & all my friends. I look forward eagerly to my dance classes every Friday. I sincerely thank you for making a world of difference in my tiny life !!!

My daughter has been going to Rhythm India Bollywood class for four years now. She enjoys it a lot and looks forward to it every week, no matter how tired she is. Arzan Gonda (the teacher), is an accomplished dancer with lots of prestigious awards to her laurels.

She is an amazing teacher who demands discipline, dedication, punctuality and respect towards the art no matter what the age group. Ms Gonda has a very creative and entertaining approach to her dances. Her choreography is very intriguing which makes the dance very entertaining. Dances by Rhythm India are a treat to watch.

My sister and I have been apart of Rhythm India for about 2 years and we have enjoyed every moment of it. Arzan Gonda, our dance teacher/choreographer has made us better dancers and showed us the real meaning of dance. We really look forward to attend all our dance classes every week. My sister and I have always loved to dance and knowing that we are part of a wonderful dance group with the best choreographer make us appreciate dance even more. You can look all over the world but you will never find a choreographer and a dance group like ours. -- Karishma and Simran Kotak

Just wanna say that your dance classes are so much fun. A big thanks to you for being a great teacher and for making dancing a blast! It’s been great to learn from you and perform with you. I know for me when I first attended your class I was very nervous and scared of looking silly.  Yours was the very first class I attended.  You made it easy for me to become comfortable and to learn to just let go, relax and make mistakes at first.  You taught me that dancing is about showing energy while having fun and enjoying it.  Thank you for just being you. You rock!

She had the moves, now she has the grooves. Ever since we can remember, Rukshana has loved to move to music and could go on for hours. Unfortunately, we did not have any place to send her where she could develop her hobby into anything meaningful. There were no such opportunities in the city she was born. Two years ago we moved to Houston and heard about Arzan’s dance class through friends. We decided to enroll Rukshana and give it a try. Wow!!!! I did not realize that thanks to the dance class I could get Rukshana to do almost anything!!! She knows if her grades are not good, room is not cleaned, behavior is not good, etc. – no dance class. Thanks Arzan, I am not sure what you do in that class but I get results out of her. I even got her to learn her Navjote prayers in no time. In her two years she has missed class once and now I have joined too!!! It is true Bollywood, filled with wonderful choreography, energy and perfection. Arzan expects a high standard of dedication from her students and this shows in their flawlessness wherever the troupe performs. -- Nazanin Sarkari

Thank you so much for being our daughter’s dance teacher and our school of choice for the past five years. We want to take this opportunity to thank you personally for the 4+ amazing years of dance - it has been time well spent. Our daughter Tanaya’s, love for dance started at the age of six. At first, it was for fun and recreation, but it soon became a weekly ritual to the dance class/studio. We are very lucky to have in you, such a talented teacher (and experienced dancer) who sincerely loves to teach, is knowledgeable, caring, and an enthusiastic instructor.

Your passion for dancing has been contagious and you have perfected the balance of detail/perfection while maintaining the fun energy of dance. There has been no sense of pressure or negative criticism - you have really catered for the different levels of dancing ability while encouraging people to be the best dancers, they can be. I don't think this is an easy balance to achieve as a teacher, but you have done it! You expect much from your students and in return, receive the utmost respect and dedication from them. The quality of dance instruction and the dedication to your passion is next to none.

We would not hesitate to recommend “Rhythm India” to anyone we meet and are willing to try the classes.Thanks again for helping Tanaya to develop from a rather shy and somewhat self-conscious little girl into a lovely, postured and self assured young girl. For that, we will be forever grateful.

Rhythm India has been an awesome experience for me. Knowing that I'm a part of the team makes me feel very proud, and allows me to set and accomplish goals for myself. Arzan Gonda, our teacher/choreographer not only teaches us steps but goes deeper and teaches us the hidden meanings of dance.

I always loved to dance to begin with, but after Rhythm India I have been exposed to many different types of Indian dance and learned to appreciate dance a lot more. I also was given the chance to perform with my mom, which was an awsome experience for both of us. Classes are always a blast and I always learn more and more every time. I have learned to become more disciplined and have improved in my cooperating skills, as dance is a team effort.

Rhythm India has truly allowed me to find a part of myself and I really would like to thank Arzan Gonda for everything she has done for me.

I would like to say that my daughter Serena has been dancing Bollywood for six years (now 10) and she thoroughly enjoys being in Arzan’ s class. She was first enrolled in a different Bollywood program before Rhythm –India came along and I have to say that this is by far the best group/program ever.

Arzan is a committed, patient, dedicated, and an exceptional teacher. Her expertise and love for dancing has brought the best in our girls. I also like the fact that not only does Rhythm India teach our girls to have fun, and be self disciplined in their dancing, but it also teaches them about philanthropy which was obvious in the Dance for Life benefit. I am very proud of my daughter and her accomplishments in dancing and for Arzan and her talents for teaching my daughter.
Thank you ever so much.
