After my move from CA to TX in 2011, I looked for 2 years to find a Bollywood dance class. After watching a friend's posts about her dance group in Houston, I kept hoping Rhythm India would expand to the DFW area. In October 2013 my prayers were answered when Arzan and Arthi held a demo class. Right from the first move, I was blown away by not just the choice of music, but the technique and attitude in the movements.
After being part of 3 dance classes that fizzled out in a month due to lack of interest, I am happy to report I am proudly a part of an amazing dance school after 4 months. We have already performed twice in such a short amount of time. The Houston office has been very patient in letting our group grow with all the pains that come with a start-up operation, and Arzan's subtle involvement and assurance keeps us going.
And all this success and enthusiasm is all thanks to the incredibly talented teacher/manager/pioneer team member - Ms. Arthi Gee. Coming into an overly crowded yet lukewarm DFW environment, all odds were against Arthi. She was willing to work with a small group. With gentle criticism, intense energy and almost impossible hope in our talents, Arthi has transformed my life. Even on the most tired days, I look forward to my Sunday dance class and am not afraid to move it like Jagger (or Madhuri in our case) :-) She teaches us not just fun dance moves but constantly works on grace, technique and perfection. She never lets us feel as old as our legal age and makes us push our limits...and I am loving it!

My daughter - age 11, intermediate class - has been dancing with Rhythm India for about a year and a half. Our only regret is that we wished we had started her dancing with Rhythm India sooner. Arzan Gonda is truly a passionate and creative artist, choreographer and dancer which shines through in every performance. Her professionally conducted dance classes set high standards of dedication and commitment for all her students. We always wait in anticipation for every upcoming energetic and entertaining performance. Rhythm India has not only met our expectations but has far exceeded our expectations. My daughter thoroughly enjoys Bollywood dancing. Many thanks to Arzan and Rhythm India for giving her this wonderful experience.

“Natalya, Monika, Raheel and Ranjit’s performance at our daughter’s engagement party at the Asia Society on June 15, 2013 was awesome!! Not only did they give us an electric show full of energy and passion, they managed to get even the most reluctant and shy guests onto the floor. The result was a delightful mix-masala of all age-groups celebrating Nicole and Shan’s happiness through dance. Thank you for giving us so much joy. See you next year at the wedding!”

Anjali has been a student of a few Bollywood dance companies over the past years since she started dancing when she was 3. But ever since we met Arzan and came to Rhythm India a few years back, we have had the best fit. Anjali is now 9 and as always... truly loves Ms. Arzan! For her Girl Scouts project she chose her future business to be a dance school. She had replicated everything she knew about Rhythm India -- down to the very same fees for the classes! But, what is there not to love? She is very popular among her students and a most energetic dancer! Her talents and rhythm make anyone want to hop out of their chair and join her! She commands her large classes well and is able to teach difficult and fast steps to such young girls. Rhythm India's performances turn out to be so breathtaking, we wish the show was not over so soon. It impresses me at how many students she is able to take on and still be the sole instructor. We believe that is what makes her dance company so amazing... to see how she takes pride in working with everyone herself. She has her eye on everyone and encourages them to do nothing less than their best. She is also very professional in her dealings with students, parents, and at events. There is nothing less than the best when it comes to her show... the photographer, camera man, decorations. Anyone can tell --- all of herself goes into what she does (from every day classes to large performances). We are proud to be a part of Rhythm India and wish her the best successes life has to offer.

Looking back 5 years ago I would have never imagined that Rhythm India would achieve so much. In 2008, when I joined there was no company, it was just Arzan Gonda and her dancers. From then we have performed at film festivals, Rockets games, Holi and Diwali functions and so any more places which I will always cherish in my heart. I am so proud and excited to be a part of this magnificent journey with Arzan aunty and the rest of the dancers. A big thank you goes to Arzan aunty who has taught me what it truly means to dance from the inside and feel the music. I would have never developed the self confidence and stage presence that I have now without her. She is my role model, my teacher, and I am her number 1 fan. I love being part of Rhythm India Dance Company and hope to perform at even bigger arenas and create even more beautiful memories with my friends and Arzan aunty. Thank you for everything :)

I would like to say that I am very happy that my daughter Serena Setna is a part of Rhythm India under the teachings of Arzan Gonda. My daughter is one of Arzan's first students; even before the name Rhythm India existed. Arzan is well disciplined in her teachings and she instills that in her students. She has a passion for dancing and passes that same passion along to her students as well. She encourages all her students to do well and be successful. She is very dedicated to her job and to her students. Arzan has opened up the doors for many opportunities for her students like performing at events that otherwise may not be possible. My daughter loves to go to dance class and learn new dances. These dance classes have helped my daughter achieve other dancing goals outside of the Bollywood genre. I would highly recommend Rhythm India to anyone who has a passion, dedication, and commitment to learning Bollywood styledancing. Best of luck Arzan and Thank You!!!

Rhythm India has been an amazing experience for me because I've gotten to meet so many people while having fun! I look forward to my weekly class as a way to just let go and burn off some stress. My teacher Ranjita is amazing and I can't help but have my mood brightened after a stressful day at school. I plan to stay in Rhythm India as long as possible! :)

Rhythm India has been a plus for Taruna and the community. Arzan has integrated our Indian culture, for our kids, as if they were in India. Taruna has a passion for dancing and has been with Arzan for the last 6 years. She looks forward to her classes and does not want to miss a day. Rhythm India plays an intricate part in Taruna's life, as it has built her self-esteem. Arzan takes pride in working with everyone herself. She is very energetic and makes her class fun. She is very professional when it comes to events, parents and students. We are proud to be a part of Rhythm India!

Bollywood Dancing has picked up so much that there are many people teaching around these places. We did look into a few, while doing so came accross Rhythm India taught by Ms Arzan. I was awe struck from the word go... Ms Arzan is the most energetic teacher I have ever met ever since I set out my search for a dance teacher as my eldest daughter wanted to join Bollywood dancing about 12 years ago and that was in Qatar. After settling in the US, began my search again. Definitely my search ended the day I saw Ms Arzan with her kids 3 years ago. Although I could not fit in the time and place that she was teaching at that time. I waited till last year to put my youngest daughter in Rhythm India class. I am so happy and proud to have met Ms Arzan, the Director of Rhythm India and have her as my daughter's Danceteacher.

What is there to say? She is a world class dancer AND instructor! Professional, smooth, flawless!! That's Arzan! Safe & nurturing place to mix, mingle, make friends -- multi-cultural; Indians, Americans, Russians, Asians, others! I had such awesome experience at Holi & Diwalil festivals! No reason for not joining Rhythm India! Zero! Nada! Nil! Sooo fulfilling and fun to be part of Rhythm India ...

When I joined Rhythm India almost 5 years ago, I had no idea it would become such a big part of who I am! Thanks to Rhythm India, I have made some amazing memories and great friends that I will have for the rest of my life. Since joining, I have built up my self-confidence and attitude. You have taught me the art of perfection, discipline, and dedication, and I could not thank you more for that! Thank you for being an instrumental part in making me who I am today!(:

I first heard about Rhythm India at India House when I saw the senior company practicing there on Sundays! I went home and looked y'all up and found amazing pictures and videos of your first Rockets Half-Time Show performance! I soon joined Rhythm India and auditioned for the junior company! I think what was most appealing to me was the creative choreography, energetic songs, and professional style learning! For me, dance is the ultimate relaxation (and it's my favorite kind of exercise). Dancing takes full focus when I'm dancing at class and practice and helps me relieve the tension that builds up through intense school work. I am happy to say that dancing with Rhythm India is an important and fun part of my life! Through Rhythm India, I've learned how to have better stage presence, I've become more expressive, I've become a more confident choreographer, and I have a lot of fun with dance. Every week, we learn other dancer's choreography, choreograph our own, and practice! This process of dancing with Rhythm India adds loads of fun to my week and I love performing with the whole company! I am most proud when I have finished learning the dance and am able to thoroughly enjoy it, because I have made the choreography muscle memory and am enacting the emotions of the song!

We moved to Houston from New Jersey in 2008 looking for better school, housing, and job opportunities in 2008. We realized our goal within a year and were looking for outdoor activities for kids. We enrolled Chelsea in Ballet for one year and didn’t feel too happy about it. We had to push her for the classes and noticed that she didn’t seem to enjoy much as a five year old. We happened to see Rhythm India starting classes in Katy and enrolled her for the first class in Katy End Zone. Life changed for Chelsea ever after. Meeting Arzan is one of the best thing happened to Chelsea.
In the beginning, of course, we enjoyed Bollywood music and watched our kid throw her legs around but as the months and years passed Chelsea became more serious in her dancing and wouldn’t let go. Her first performance in one of our family reunion became a hit and earned her lot of laurels. Dancing brought her courage to stand and perform in front of a group of people for Chelsea who otherwise was a shy little girl. Thanks to Arzan, exposing these little girls to small group and sometimes as big as few hundreds have only increased their confidence, self-reliance and self-esteem. Now, it is a routine in our house parties for Chelsea to show her moves. Rhythm India is playing a major role in these kids helping them express their personalities. For us as parents, it is so overwhelming to see our kids connect to our community and culture. It is a joy to watch them on stage breaking free and enjoy themselves.We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Arzan and her group for bringing the community together through Rhythm India and bringing a sense of achievement for these kids. We won’t be shy to say Arzan and Rhythm India has given our daughter a passion, identity, and confidence. It makes us happy and fulfilled. Thank you Rhythm India!

I can very happily say that I have been extremely pleased with the professionalism and dedication that Rhythm India has shown for the kids. I have had bad experiences before trying to get my girls to join a Bollywood dance school. But I guess they say good things come to those who wait. I waited and now that my girls are taking lessons with Rhythm India, I can say that is the best decision I made. They are loving it and enjoying it and I'm happy just watching them enjoy something that I love about India.

It has been amazing to be in Rhythm India. Ms. Arzan is an amazing teacher and I like how we are able to become choreographers. It has impacted my life a lot. Dance is one of my favorite hobbies and now it became a reality. The environment is great and so are the students. It is a fun experience and I am going to keep dancing with Rhythm India for years to come.

Parinaz had never done Bollywood Dancing before she started here but she loves it, and I feel that it has given her something to look forward to every Friday. Going for these classes has built her confidence and improved her skills in dancing tremendously . Arzan plays a huge role in fanning the flames of her love and passion for dancing by showing that in her classes. You would have thought Parinaz had won a million dollars when she came home all excited and proud of herself to tell me that Arzan had put her in the front row in one of her dances for the show. Her expression was priceless to watch "

We love taking lessons with Ms. Arzan. She makes you want to dance more and more. She dances with so much energy that trying to copy her “auto-magically” makes us better dancers! Very proud to be part of the “Just Dance” dance troop! She picks the best music and her steps are easy, new and best of all FUN! We love doing Bollywood dance because of our teacher Ms. Arzan. Oh! And also, she is very very organized! No surprises what so ever...everything is very well planned well in advance. A BIG “THANK YOU” to Ms. Arzan and RHYTHM INDIA!

We are very impressed with Rhythm India Dance School and its artististic director - Arzan Ghonda. Arzan is very professional, friendly, inspirational and with lots of energy. She knows the strengths and weaknesses of every student and makes extra effort to guide them. Cyril (5th grade student) says,"I always have an amazing time at the dance class, learning 'cool moves', from an extra nice teacher." We would recommend Rhythm India highly to anyone because it is a perfect place to learn and enjoy at the same time. Thanks to the exciting work of Arzan. With warmest wishes to your continuing success......

I have always loved dancing...and truly believe that once a dancer always a dancer, specially if you have a guru like Ms.Arzan of Rhythm India. She challenges me as a dancer and keeps the creative juices flowing. The Rhythm India team provides the best when it comes to providing platform for aspiring dancers to learn & nurture their talent. For me, dance is no more a hobby it's a passion thanks to Rhythm India! Rhythm India will always have a special place in my heart. It is like my second family and I love being an essential tool in the team. Love you Rhythm India Family :)

Arzan’s class is definitely Sanjana’s favorite hour of the week!! She feels so alive and free from all the endorphins right after class! Learning to dance from Arzan for the last 3 years has helped her come out of her shell and build her esteem in so many ways! And having a great teacher in Arzan betters the experience that much more, she expects perfection from the students without being a harsh critic! I’ve always seen an easy camaraderie between teacher and students. Arzan is friendly, calm, very, very organized and the energy she has is amazing and is evident to all when she’s on stage! Sanjana adores and respects Ms. Arzan as a person, teacher and dancer! We wish Arzan and Rhythm India only the best and have no doubt that she’s on the rising curve to the top if not already there!!

My seven-year-old daughter, Aarohi, is a keen student of Rhythm India since last three years now. She says with great pride and a sparkle in her eyes that Miss Arzan is the coolest dance teacher. Being a classical dancer myself, I lured her into trying other dance forms but she convinced me very emphatically that this was the best option for her. Arzan's passion for teaching dance is evident in her dedication and meticulous planning of this annual show, be it choreography, costume selection of more than 100 kids or execution. She strives for perfection and expects her students to emulate the same. Aarohi would not trade Rhythm India for any other dance institute:-))

My daughter Eesha and I have been with Rhythm India for almost 3 years now. Eesha has always been a very shy little girl and would always try to avoid attention. When she started with Rhythm India, we found that even during practices at home, she would prefer to practice with her back towards us. Over the years she has gained so much confidence and really enjoys dancing. Eesha wears her biggest smile on stage and is always eager to perform. Arzan has a unique ability to bring out the best in her students. I have found an amazing friend, and the perfect "guru" in Arzan. We truly are very fortunate and immensely proud to be a part of the RHYTHM INDIA family.

I love dancing. It's apart of my whole life. I'm in junior intermediate 2, and I have been dancing for about 3 years. Arzan aunty is so amazing. She guides us with learning steps and dancing with flair. We are all here, only because of her. I used to hate being on stage in front of people but she changed me a lot! Rhythm India is just marvelous. I haven't seen anything better yet!! Just dance allows me to dance and live freely! Going to dance every Friday makes my week more fruity! Thanks Rhythm India!!!

Aria and Sahya have learned so much from being a part of the Rhythm India Team. Bollywood dancing has most of all helped them bring them out of their shells. It has added so many wonderful qualities and aspects like confidence, strength, working in a team, co-ordination and just basic "busting a move" whenever they hear any music. They are both so very proud of what they have learned and are always eager to "show off" their moves whenever there is an audience. Thank you so very much Arzan for your endless patience, effort and love that you put in every moment you spend teaching the kids. You are truly amazing!

"Just Dance" is a dream come true for Umang. Umang saw his older cousin perform on stage when he was just four years old. One and half year later, he is living his dream, thanks to his teacher, Ms. Arzan Gonda. She is very caring and has been encouraging him throughout his training. She has inspired Umang to do his best. Thank You Very Much Rhythm India.

Rhythm India has made a phenomenal, life-changing impact on me. Arzan Gonda, who has been my biggest inspiration ever since I joined the company (at age 9), has taught me to be a disciplined and confident person. She has not only taught me dance and how to be a successful performer, but she has also shown me how to be determined in everything I do. By being a part of Rhythm India, I have learnt the importance of committment and determination to accomplish anything that I put my heart into. I sincerely thank Arzan Gonda and Rhythm India for being a huge part of my life. It has become an essential part of who I am.

Sayali started with Rhythm India 2 years ago. That was her first introduction in to Indian dance and she fell in love with Bollywood dancing and more than that with Miss Arzan. Now she couldn't stop dancing and I find her dancing in front of the mirror while brushing her teeth to singing and dancing in the shower. I noticed that she has become very confident and start dancing at any Bollywood songs at parties.The Indian girls in her class even teach each other the steps during recess, which I thought was wonderful!!! When I asked her what she likes about Rhythm India class, she said "I like to dance with my friends from my school , I like Miss Arzan and I like the Bollywood music, and she said one of the boys in the dance class told her he wants to learn dancing and go in to Hollywood:))

Rhythm India saved my life in graduate school by providing me an outlet for my stress, passion, and my creativity. I have been obsessed with the Bollywood culture and dance since a young age and this company gave me unlimited access to both. Without Rhythm India, I would not have grown as a dancer in terms of discipline, stamina, and choreography. Most importantly, however, I found lifelong friends in this company that gave me emotional and physical support any time there was a need and that's something I can never repay. Rhythm India was the only dance company worth the 4 hours on the road from Beaumont, Texas EVERY Sunday alone in my parents minivan to be able pursue my passion and perform with Arzan Gonda.

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.

Rhythm India has changed my outlook on dancing and hard work drastically. It gave me the backbone and stamina I needed to progress; both in dancing and in life itself. Arzan Gonda has been the best coach I've ever had the pleasure of dancing with. From practices to performances, with her everything is fine tuned to perfect every detail. The Rhythm India girls started off as just being girls I danced with and slowly my experiences and memories with them have truly made them family.

Rhythm India has been a great influence on my life. Being a part of the company has taught me responsibility and confidence that I had lacked before. When I first started, my eyes would be glued to the floor in fear of people watching all my mistakes. Now, I can proudly say that I have danced at a rockets game and stared at everyone in the stands right in the eye. Dancing gives me a goal and memories that will last forever. I love my Rhythm India family!

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 4 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.

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.

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.

I have been coming to Rhythm India for 2 years. Look forward to my dance class with Ms Arzan every week. I can say this is my most favorite class in the whole week and I love the dances and music that is picked for us. All the practice of class is even more fruitful when we get to perform in front of an audience.

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.
