Her zest, in turn, motivates them to do better. As her disciple, I feel blessed to have got the opportunity to learn about the true essence of Sattriya.I am eternally indebted to my GuruI am a blessed student of ma’am Anwesa.
The patience and precision in her process of teaching, helped me learning much of the Sattriya dance form in just two years. The knowledge ma’am shared, the expressions she taught made the learning process faster and easier for me.
