What families say

“I was searching for a good kathak class for my daughter when I came across Leela’s Online Workshop post on Instagram and Facebook. I immediately enrolled my daughter there and I would say we were happy and fully satisfied with the classes and workshops. Ria DasGupta and Rina Mehta are awesome teachers. I strongly recommend Leela Academy to everyone who is interested in kathak.” — Anjana S., Greensboro, NC
