Dance Ihayami's students range in age from 4 to 60, come from all walks of life, come from various countries around the world (in fact we have 18 different nationalities represented!). What brings everyone together is their love of DANCE.

We asked some of our students to tell us what they like about Indian dance, and why they chose to attend classes with Dance Ihayami. Here's what they had to say.

"I professionally work in the finance sector. Personally I am also a mother of 2 young children. My eldest daughter is 7 years old .She was one of the reasons I joined Bharatnatyam class. Born and brought up in India, I was very keen on learning Indian classical dance. My sister who is a very good Bharatnatyam dancer has always been my inspiration since childhood. However, due to shifting priorities in life I could not pursue my interest in India.

When I got to know about Dance Ihayami introducing lessons in Dundee, I was very keen for my daughter and I to join the classes. It has been almost a year now since we have started learning together. Dance Ihayami is a very professional institute . Teachers with their enthusiasm and professionalism have helped inspire and support our learning. It is this dedication and focus on achieving perfection in every single lesson, keeps us both looking forward to each and every lesson.

On a personal note, Bharatnatyam as a dance form helps me forget about everything else happening in my life. It is genuinely a stress busting and enjoyable time I look forward to every single week. Learning this art with my daughter has truly been the best opportunity in life. As a mother and daughter we are indeed creating memories for life. Thank you Dance Ihayami for making it happen for both of us."
