Dusherra
Sanskaar Nritya Dance Academy was founded by Gauri Bhobe in 2005 under the guidance of her guru Shri Deepak Mazumdar in Mumbai India. Her passion of teaching dance inspired her to open the phoenix chapter when she moved to USA. Since 2010 she has nurtured the artistic talent of more than 50 students who have performed in productions like “Mallari”, “Mahishasure Mardini”, “Vande Matarm”, “DEVI”, “Krishna Tandav”, “Gana Om” & “Kanha.” They were appreciated across the valley. The academy trains students in “Abhinaya Darpanam'' which are shlokam and intricate jatis. These dance pieces have been descended from Gurus and stalwarts like T. S Kadirvelu Pillai and Guru Kanak Rele.
Arangetram
Till date 4 students have completed their Arangetram (debut solo recital) under SNDA banner with the guidance of Smt Gauri Bhobe. She encourages students to participate and perform in valley festivals to build their confidence and get a better stage presence in their initial training. She conducts annual recitals on a regular basis and annually during Dushera there are open house performances by the students to their family.
We Never Stopped!
Since the pandemic in 2019, Gauri conducts classes virtually and has students across the USA. She shares the initial foundation steps with her videos to her students for practice and her class size is limited to 6 students in every batch to maintain the quality.
