Geet-Rung Academy of Kathak - Cumming, Georgia

Miss Divya is not just my Kathak teacher—she is my inspiration, my mentor, and the reason I believe in myself today. When I first started, I was unsure, hesitant, and afraid of making mistakes. But she saw something in me that I couldn’t see in myself. With her patience, kindness, and unwavering support, she helped me grow, not just as a dancer but as a person.

She didn’t just teach me Kathak—she made me feel it, embrace it, and love it with all my heart. Her dedication, her passion, and the way she pours her soul into every class have touched me deeply. Today, as I stand ready for my exam, I do so with confidence, not just in my steps but in my soul —because she believed in me when I didn’t.

Miss Divya, I can never thank you enough for the way you have shaped my journey. You are a true guru in every sense, and I will always be grateful for the love of dance you have given me.

My daughters have both been at Geet Rung for many years now. They both love Ms.Divya as she is an excellent teacher. She makes learning Kathak enjoyable as well as teaches the students the importance behind the dance. Geet Rung is truly one of the best places for people wanting to learn Kathak. Ms.Divya is an amazing teacher and my daughters would not be the dancers they are today without her.

I started taking classes with Divya since a month and I fell in love with the way she is teaching us with patience. I am a complete beginner in Kathak and she is being very supportive through creating a comfort zone to express ourselves. It’s a one hour class and she plans out that one hour to teach us basics and a song as well. When it comes to a price point, I would say it is very affordable. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to make it to class. Ultimately, I would suggest whoever are interested, please consider taking classes with Divya Srivastava at Geet Rung Academy.

My daughter has started Kathak classes with Divya Shrivasthav around 3 years back and I am glad we could find Divya to teach Kathak for her. Divya is a very disciplined teacher and always willing to help students when they are having difficulty in memorizing. Thank you!

I have been a student at Geet Rung for almost 10 years. It has provided me with extremely rewarding experiences and knowledge of Kathak dance. I accredit this to my dance guru Mrs. Divya Srivastava. She is a very determined, passionate, and skilled teacher. She is the reason I was able to pursue my Kathak degree successfully. With the help of Mrs. Divya, I have obtained many skills that will be of help to me in the future. After becoming a more advanced student, she even provided me the opportunity of teaching and choreographing. She is extremely hardworking and continues to inspire me in every aspect of life. I had the pleasure of experiencing classes online as well, due to COVID-19, and felt it was a great way to continue my dance education. It was very organized and productive. I loved my experience at this school! I highly recommend it to anyone interested.

I received my Kathak training for 12 years with Ms Divya at Geet-Rung. She is very knowledgeable and a wonderful teacher. She is kind and patient with beginner students but at the same time would not tolerate any indiscipline in her class. I also immensely enjoyed the opportunity of teaching at Geet-Rung for a couple years before leaving for college. Ms Divya is a passionate teacher and is dedicated to bringing out the best in all her students.

When I decided to pursue my dream of learning kathak at 39, Ms.Divya made me lose any inhibition and welcomed me with encouragement. As a full-time working mom, the weekly classes are my creative outlet and Divya mam has helped make my passion for the art form a reality. She ensures that learning kathak is not only fun but teaches us to focus on the techniques. I am glad to have joined her class and can’t recommend it enough for anyone wanting to learn kathak.

My daughter has been attending Kathak classes with Ms Divya since 3 years. She is a very dedicated teacher and is very patient with the kids especially younger ones who need more attention. Class sizes are not very large and that ways she can give personalized attention to the students. Since the pandemic hit last year, the classes have been all virtual on zoom but still as good. Ms Divya tries to make the classes as effective as possible by making sure the students have all the material they need before hand and that ways they can also practice during the week.
Kathak like any other Indian dance form teaches a lot of discipline and structure and is good for overall development of young kids. I would highly recommend Geet-Rung School of Dance & Music if you are looking to get your kid enrolled in a good Kathak dance academy.
