TiffineyI love Atlanta Kathak! It’s given me an opportunity to learn kathak and form wonderful friendships. The owner and director, Brittny-ji, is committed to her art and her students. She’s supportive, encouraging and fun!
RajwinderBrittny is an amazing teacher. She takes her time to ensure you learn the proper technique from the beginning, and that you're learning a good mix of everything, not just focusing on one area, over and over again. She's happy to share everything she has learned and answer every question you ever have. She has plenty of students, but she never makes an individual feel like she's just lost in the crowd. I wish I'd joined her classes sooner, but I'm glad I joined them when I did!
ApurvaBrittny has a unique ability to connect and communicate with kids. She is very professional and sincere in offering her classes. We have only had a great experience with her and would surely recommend her classes for Kathak.
