My elder son started piano at Saanwee in 2023 and got a really good start and great guidance. He’s been doing excellent and truly enjoys his lessons. Priti does an amazing job organizing and coordinating all the classes.

My younger son joined Saanwee’s art class about 5–6 months ago, and we’re so happy to see his growing interest and improvement in painting. Both my kids also loved the summer camp at Saanwee!

Big thanks to Priti and the wonderful team of instructors and staff for their enthusiasm, coordination, and passion! They keep the kids motivated and help them grow in their skills. Highly recommend Saanwee!

My daughters have been attending Sanwee Arts for over three years, and my older one started around five years ago. This dance school has been an incredible part of their journey, helping them grow in confidence while deepening their love for Bollywood music and dance.

Priti, the heart and soul of Sanwee Arts, is not just a fantastic dance teacher but also a mentor who instills Indian cultural values through her classes. She creates a warm and encouraging environment where kids don’t just learn dance—they learn to express themselves, embrace their heritage, and develop discipline and teamwork.

Through her dedication, Priti ensures that every performance reflects the beauty of Indian culture, making the kids feel proud of their roots. I highly recommend Sanwee Arts to anyone looking for an enriching Bollywood and Indian dance experience for their children!

Thank you, Priti, for your passion, dedication, and the love you pour into every student—you are truly inspiring!

We have used Saanwee for a vast range of services (language, camps-Spring break, Summer and pop up along with a range of dances) and had a pleasant experience with every class.

As a parent, I want to highlight, while recommending Saanwee, that Priti's style is tailored to each child as well as instilling a love of the Art in children. So even if your child is a beginner or slightly hesitant, start them with Priti and I am sure they will come out loving the art you signed them up for.

I was also impressed with the punctuality. Priti publishes a schedule for classes as well as her recitals and -for the most part - sticks with the published timings.

My daughter has been learning Bharatanatyam from Ms. Priti, and we are very happy with her progress. Ms. Priti is a patient and skilled teacher, who explains the techniques clearly and focuses on the foundations of the dance. The classes are well-structured, and she ensures that each student gets individual attention. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable Bharatanatyam instructor.

Guru Priti Gupta is well versed in various dance forms. She is an excellent teacher. She is patient and tailors her teaching to meet the student's skill and comfort level. I have been learning Bharatanatyam for past 4 years under her tutelage. I cannot thank her enough for instilling the joy of dance in me.

It was a pleasure working with Priti – she is very patient, talented, a great instructor and simply amazing. I am older, was under a time crunch and needed dance moves that were simpler, easy to pick up. Priti was very accommodating, worked with me, and provided the dance steps in videos she created during a combined two sessions. She also incorporated special moves that I wanted included, and provided suggestions on others. All in all, Priti did a fabulous job, and the awesome performance at the Sangeet showed for it.

Priti was AMAZING to work with! She was so attentive to details and really helped us perform our best! We didn’t have any dance experience before this but she made learning easy and fun. We were able to put together a perfect first dance in just a few months and it was perfect! Everyone loved it and we got so many compliments on it!

We are so glad we found to Priti to choreograph our first dance. At the beginning we were so nervous as my husband and hadn't ever taken any dancing lessons but Priti helped us to overcome our nerves and choreographed a beautiful dance to the song that we chose. Our first dance was definitely entertaining and we truly enjoyed going to see Priti each week for our dance. So much so that we miss going there and wish we had another wedding to do our first dance to again. You will not regret going to Priti, she is so amazing at what she does!

My fiancé, now wife, and I went to Priti to choreograph and learn our first dance for our wedding night. I am an uncomfortable dancer and my wife is a natural dancer, but she made it comfortable and fun for us every lesson. She was a fantastic, engaging, and patient teacher, and our final performance was a huge success. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for everything!

We are so grateful we found Priti and Saanwee. We're having a fusion wedding and knew we wanted our first dance to include both ballroom and Bollywood sections. It was pretty difficult to find a choreographer who had experience with both! Then we found Priti, who was just the perfect match. Priti worked with us to find the perfect package of sessions and was always flexible with offering us both in person and virtual sessions. The choreography was really personalized, both to our songs and the kinds of stuff we wanted to do. The choreo is impressive in the best way: she met us where we were with our dancing skills levels (one of us is definitely not a dancer lol) but also challenged us gently to go above and beyond and really learn some cool moves. And the process of doing dance lessons itself was really fun - great way to get excited about the wedding day. On top of that Priti is so kind, skilled, and experienced; we're really privileged to be able to work with someone who has worked at the highest stages of dance. We have loved working with Saanwee, would highly recommend them for any wedding or other dance services, and are excited to do our dance and then keep working with Saanwee!

My husband and I came in with ZERO skill in dance. I've always imagined getting rid of the first dance concept because we just simply can't dance but my husband pushed to go with Priti and we're so so happy we did.

Priti is patient, knowledgeable, and just a great instructor.

What's great about Priti is her knowledge about Indian clothes and dance moves but also American clothes and dance moves. Because of this, she was able to curate choreography that is perfect for our Indian outfits (lehenga and sherwani) and flaunts all the movement in our outfits and goes well with the English songs we chose for our first dance.
She also gave us moves that our non-dancing bodies were actually able to perform, spins, dips, shuffles, etc.
Practice and Priti is everything.

We were so impressed with ourselves when we learned our dance, the learning curve was huge but it was successful.
Our guests were so amazed ESPECIALLY our parents. My parents have never seen me do anything this coordinated in their entire lives and they loved it so much.

We were still getting comments (4 days after the wedding) about our dance from everyone, literally everyone loved our dance.

3 months later and our parents STILL talk about how amazing we looked on the dancefloor.

Priti, our dance was top 3 best thing we invested in doing for our wedding. Thank you so much for everything, seriously.

I highly recommend Priti for EVERYONE as a dance instructor, I also highly recommend everyone getting with Priti at least 4-5 months before your wedding to really have time to soak it all in.

Priti is genuinely an extraordinary dancer teacher. She is the best because she is not only a stunning dancer but an AMAZING teacher. She made each movement a piece of a story with metaphors to help me understand the feelings and movements of the choreography. Her unique teaching style made it possible to understand the movements and flow through the steps without having to think of what comes next. I had no previous dance experience, but she was able to teach me an intricate piece in less than two weeks that made me look and, most importantly, FEEL like a pro. All thanks to Priti’s vision, she takes time to understand your strengths and weaknesses and pinpoints movements that will make you look, feel, and move beautifully. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Priti! Priti did more than teach me stand-out choreography; she made me believe in my ability to dance, instilling the confidence I needed to perform on stage with grace.

Saanwee Performing Arts owes itself entirely to Priti who is passionate about Dance and extremely accomplished in her Dance skills.
Priti's ability to teach and translate Dance to people who may or may not be familiar to Dance is outstanding. Her patience in taking you through every nuance, staying with you through your learning is complimentary.
I would recommend Saanwee Performing Arts to people who have a vision or dream they want to see fulfilled; for Priti will take you there.

My husband and I had a wonderful time learning from Priti, she personalized our entire first dance to the songs we chose and even recommended more songs when we couldn’t think of any. She was the sunshine of our stressful weekends gearing up for the reception, so we even signed up for back to back classes to get more into one weekend and get our routine to be muscle memory. Closer to the reception, we had a quick dress rehearsal and I got so much help with the dress and shoes. Priti made sure we didn’t have any stress on our big day, so that we would be fully energized and confident, addressing even any of our form and dance concerns, and keeping up our practice through other hectic preparation, so we do not get distracted. I hope everyone signs up for Priti’s classes.

Priti was the perfect dance teacher! My wife and I used her services to learn the first dance for our wedding reception. She has a unique teaching style that makes learning dance fun! She can take an idea and quickly instill it into the routine. Priti gave us the confidence we so terribly needed to perform in front of hundreds of our loved ones. Thanks for making our dance a memorable success!

We really appreciated Priti - her patience, expertise, encouragement, and serenity when we were anxious about the dance. She has an extensive and incredible dance background, and had a great balance of giving constructive criticism and encouraging small accomplishments over time until they got better. We really liked the choreography to our song, and she was patient when we decided to change our song after the first few lessons. Lastly, she was very easy to talk to and helped us to enhance our stage presence. We would highly recommend her!! =)

We took lessons with Priti for our first dance, and she was amazing to work with!! My husband needed some convincing to come to the first class, but he was so comfortable after that we even extended our dance routine to include both a slow dance and a surprise fast number! Since we had a destination wedding, it was super useful that Priti sent us videos of our dance practice so that we could catch up with the moves in our own time- and the dance was such a hit with all our wedding guests! We are super happy and would completely recommend Priti to anyone who wants to take some dance and movement lessons!

We found Priti on Google while looking for dance lessons for our wedding. During the first "trial" lesson we immediately felt comfortable with Priti and confident that she knows what she's doing. She choreographed a beautiful dance to our first dance song. Properly estimated the number of lessons needed, was very creative and also flexible in adding moves or removing the ones we didn't feel comfortable with. We kept our lessons a secret, and our family's and guest's minds were blown when we performed our dance. Def the best money we spent for the wedding.

My wife (former fiancee) and I loved working with Priti while preparing for our first dance. Priti broke down the whole routine into multiple components, which we practiced independently, before combining all of them into a complete routine. Priti made the whole process, which we were expecting to be a daunting task, not only approachable, but incredibly fun! I would *highly* recommend Priti for your dance instruction - highest of recommendations!

Priti was very helpful in training us dance for the Wedding day. We had limited time but she was able to accommodate our schedule in the evenings and weekends. In addition, we had a song chosen beforehand to which Priti was able to adjust the dance routine.

Thank you very much!

Priti is amazing! My husband and I were skeptical about taking dance lessons before our wedding, but once we met Priti, we knew we made the right choice.

We had so much fun learning a routine for our first dance, and Priti ensured us that she wouldn't let us leave her until we were fully prepared and confident in our routine. We were a success and had SO much fun in the process. Throughout the wedding guests kept commenting on how much fun it looked like we were having during our dance and it truly set a wonderful tone for the rest of the evening.

Thank you Priti for helping us create such happy memories!

Priti is a great teacher, a combination of talent, patience and professionalism. My daughter took Bharatnatyam classes and Priti inculcated in her a love for the dance, taught her discipline all at the same time having fun. Priti is great at recognizing her student’s strengths and weaknesses as it comes to dance and she uses that to the utmost advantage of her students. Be it Bollywood, western or Indian classical, we have witnessed flawless choreographies and appreciation and gratitude from all her students. We miss you Priti!

Working with Priti was effortless. She is an amazingly talented dancer and provides instruction with ease and grace. My husband and I decided that we wanted a choreographed dance for our first dance rather than risk just swaying back and forth on the floor. Priti gave us simple steps and a combination of moves that made for an impressive first dance. Our MC came to us after we finished and told us that he has seen many choreographed routines, but ours gave him goosebumps. We received compliments all night long and we cannot wait to see how it turns out on the video. As someone who is uncomfortable around strangers and more reserved, I was terrified to execute this routine; however, Priti was reassuring and because of her instruction and the sequence she put together, we were able to not only get through the dance, but also enjoy the dance. It was like second nature when we got started. I would highly recommend Priti and Sanwee Performing Arts for anyone looking for a great instructor with an incredible gift for choreographing dances.
