An immensely gifted Kathak dancer, Devika is one of my finest students. She is deeply dedicated to her craft, methodical in her practice and intuitive in her performance. What I appreciate about Devika is her complete respect for dance, her humility alongside her tenacity. There is a uniqueness to the way she embodies Kathak, smiling through her performances, making the dance her own.
On a personal level, Devika’s amiable demeanor makes her a delightful person to be around.
Her strength of spirit is rooted in her perfectionist tendencies alongside a quiet perseverance, and watching her master her craft so beautifully has been one of the highlights of my teaching experience.
