"It was my dream to learn Kathak for some reason it ever happened until one day I found sirs profile. I took the plunge and joined his class, he is very particular of your form posture and gives very detailed instructions. I couldn’t be happier, dancing benefits your mind , body and soul. My only regret is that I didn’t join this sooner. But better later than never."

"Piyush as a Kathak teacher is a perfect blend of traditional and modern sensibilities. He handles students of varied age groups from 7+ to 50+ with utmost care and ease. He is very supportive and well aware of his students weaknesses and strengths and encourages them to overcome their fears and inhibitions with regular guidance and workshops. His dedication, passion and love for Indian classical art is captivating and infectious. His studio in Goregaon is a go to place for students and parents who are serious and passionate about learning any classical dance form or music. He also organises regular baithaks there for students and general public as well to promote and create awareness about classical art forms. "

"I rejoined kathak classes after 5 years. Found about sir's classes and attended a trial class. I was like riding a bicycle. Somethings one never forgets and kathak is one of those things. Sir is the most supportive teacher and always encourages. His dedication towards the art form and teaching methods ,are the whole reason that despite being busy with work I take out time for this every Sunday. "

"When I learned about 50+ Kathak batch, I was very excited and called up Piyush Sir. I told him over phone that I am 60+. He smiled and said, good, no problem. That was an encouraging moment. And I joined his Kathak class with my friend Arti. Since then, I have been experiencing that Piyush Sir is highly educated, experienced, patient, encouraging and very strict. At the same time,he is a kind hearted respectable teacher. He always says that Nothing is impossible if you want to do it. I think he's a Master of all Trades. Our dance studio is very spacious with all the facilities. We enjoy learning Kathak with him at this age. "

"My guru Dr Piyush Raj started a batch for the age group of 50+, and he was kind enough to to accept me as his student, despite knowing that I was new to any kind of dance form. He is a very patient and kind teacher and instilled confidence in me to perform before an audience (much to the amazement of my friends and family). "
Vandana Verma
"I wished to learn kathak a year ago and I'm glad I took the trial class at Piyush Sir's studio after which there has been no looking back. I look forward to each class because Piyush sir always has something new to teach in every class provided you have that hunger to learn. The studio too is beautiful and has a positive vibe. Forever grateful to Piyush Sir for sharing his vast knowledge and experience in Kathak with us. "

Anything. On the other hand, there will always be people who say things against others .who dance...irrespective man or a woman..those are illiterate and have to be ignored!! "Log kya kahenge" is the worst disease of our society!! Be the change.. just do what you want and follow your passion. All the best. Cheers

Well, as they say even a professional dancer stops the riyaz and practice, their body language and steps start fading. So once you begin the training and restart your dance, you are bound to bounce back. Yes, a responsible and capable Guru or Teacher helps to correct the same and guide you. So please restart your dance.
Best of luck!!
