Everyone helping put on the event was absolutely amazing and so dedicated to making everything happen and making it a really positive experience. It really shone through and made it an unforgettable experience for us all. THANK YOU!”
“Overall I loved the worshop and this beautiful experience learning from Madhavi-ji in company of nice and positive dancers. I loved to have a short yoga/warm up in the morning, the ghungroos workshop, the fact that the festival brings together practice/performance and lectures. I also appreciated to have everything at one place, class, accommodation, lectures etc. The staff were also very kind and helpful. It was nice to have an ending party!”
