I’ve been learning Kathak with Sushmita Ghosh (didi) for a very long time. I started when I was in university in London, then with her in Delhi and I’ve restarted my dance journey with her online recently. Didi is more than a Kathak teacher. She is a gifted Guru of Kathak, movement and rhythm. She understands the body deeply which helps her get the best dance out of her students as she knows what they need to do or where the feeling or movement should come from. Sushmita Didi is the most patient teacher I’ve ever known. She will explain the dance calmly and patiently until one understands. And for older students she can make you understand the dance more deeply, enabling a more divine connection. As a performer Sushmita Didi is effortless and graceful. She is an absolutely pleasure to watch!

But my teenage daughter still stays in touch through zoom classes, visits for intensive training and sometimes just a phone call to catch up. The regular weekly classes and the performance opportunities have brought precious learning in our lives. I'm so grateful for having Sushmita ji as my daughter 's Kathak guruji.
