“I had the opportunity to learn, practise and perform alongside Pranali in the contemporary dance-theatre production Shakuntala, and even back then she stood out as an exceptionally talented dancer and an inspiring teacher. What has stayed with me over the years is her beautiful understanding of movement and her ability to bring together contemporary dance with Indian folk, classical and semi-classical influences, enriched by her experience in dance theatre and performance. She has always had a wonderful way of teaching - with authenticity, depth and a strong understanding of the art form. And when it comes to Bollywood, it almost feels like the music and movement run through her veins! Her ability to connect with the music while bringing expression, energy and character to the dance is truly special. For a student, what more could one ask for than an authentic, experienced and versatile teacher who is also an accomplished performer? I would highly recommend Pranali to anyone looking to learn Bollywood dance from someone who brings both experience and genuine passion to her teaching.”

“Having known and learned from Pranali since 2014, watching her journey and experiencing her guidance has been an absolute inspiration. As a dance instructor, her technical mastery across a diverse range of dance styles is incredible, but what truly sets her apart is her heart.

She doesn't just teach you the steps; she teaches you how to feel the music, command the stage and tell a story through movement. Whether you are stepping into a dance studio for the first time or looking to refine your performance skills, learning from Pranali is a transformative experience. I cannot recommend her classes highly enough!”
“Pranali was a part of our debut web series, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. The character she played was a difficult one to get right. The story was set in a Bombay slum in the 80s, and she had to adapt not just to the character, but to a completely different time, setting and way of life. She did that beautifully and very naturally. A lot of the shoot was in extremely challenging conditions inside the slum, with long days and very little comfort. Through all of it, I don't remember her complaining even once. She was always prepared, patient and completely committed to what we were trying to create. What I remember most is how easily she became a part of that world. There was no fuss, no airs, just a genuine willingness to understand the character and give the role everything it needed. It was a pleasure having her as part of our first series. And whenever I make my next show, Pranali will definitely be one of the first people I reach out to.”
