Although I had learned Bharatanatyam for a year during my school days, I started learning from dance teacher Laksmi Devi V when I was working in Mumbai. She taught the adavus, theory including shlokas with great clarity. She corrected my postures with patience which I was not aware were wrong, when I was learning previously. She also taught small dance pieces along with regular adavus which made the class enjoyable. The one-to-one sessions with her were insightful and were something I used to look forward to during weekends.
