Their dedication to perfection in every aspect of Natyashastra and the values they impart are truly commendable. Their teaching style is patient yet rigorous, always pushing us to achieve our best while nurturing our individual strengths. Their passion for Bharatanatyam is evident in every class.

I've been attending dance classes at Templesteps for 6 months now, and I'm absolutely loving it! Our teacher, Mrs. Utthara Unni is truly exceptional - her expertise, support, and teaching style are unparalleled. Urmila Unni mam creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making us all feel at ease. Nakshathra mam's classes are also fantastic!

I've been a student at temple steps for 3 years now. Utthara ma'am is an excellent teacher with vast knowledge of the art form. It's wonderful to learn from the performer herself and her excellent teaching staff. Through temple steps, I was able to present my Rangapravesham this year in a traditional kutcheri style (an experience I will cherish forever). It's rare to find a dance school run in such thoughtful ways, and I'm grateful to find a place that contextualizes the history of Bharatanatyam, while also preserving the traditional ways it's been taught over the years.

One of the best decisions that I have taken was to join Templesteps when I wanted to restart learning bharathnatyam after 15 years. I was welcomed by a passionate guru, Smt.Utthara Unni who is willing to go over and beyond for her students. Under her guidance, it is a privilege to learn Bharathnatyam in the most traditional way. It is not just the dance that we learn, but a lot more... ranging from the basic knowledge to nuances like layam, taalam and abhinaya. The curriculum gets tailored based on each student's strengths and potential. Learning the art form online was a totally different learning experience all in a positive way. It was a dream come true moment for me to deliver my Rangapravesham in the traditional kaccheri style successfully after 3 years of learning and the will power shared by my guru. When I go in person, Templesteps just becomes my second home with love and warmth of both Miss Utthara and Urmila ma'am. This place has my heart
