Reviews

"Rachna mesmerized the audience with her twinkling footwork and graceful style. Although the seating provided sightlines, the audience was compelled to stand and move positions to be able to see her performance even more clearly, such was the beauty of her dancing."

"Rachna Ramya Agrawal is utterly entrancing as she colorfully dances and swirls barefoot in front of us, complete with intricate hand gestures and jingling of tiny bells encircling her ankles."

"When the Tarana was performed by Rachna Ramya, the audience was swept off its feet."

"Rachna's dancing to the verses of Khusro and the renderings of poems were beautifully captured."
