It was a pleasure working with Priti – she is very patient, talented, a great instructor and simply amazing. I am older, was under a time crunch and needed dance moves that were simpler, easy to pick up. Priti was very accommodating, worked with me, and provided the dance steps in videos she created during a combined two sessions. She also incorporated special moves that I wanted included, and provided suggestions on others. All in all, Priti did a fabulous job, and the awesome performance at the Sangeet showed for it.

Priti is incredible. She's a savant for choreography and helped us choreograph and practice for a wedding dance with 2 weeks notice - and the outcome was incredible. She's creative, talented, and easy to work with and she took what could have been a stressful situation and made it fun. I can't recommend her enough and will definitely be returning for other wedding dances. The instructions we gave her were "we suck at dancing, so let's make it funny instead". Here's the final result of our dance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M16IRHO3ukw

We are so grateful we found Priti and Saanwee. We're having a fusion wedding and knew we wanted our first dance to include both ballroom and Bollywood sections. It was pretty difficult to find a choreographer who had experience with both! Then we found Priti, who was just the perfect match. Priti worked with us to find the perfect package of sessions and was always flexible with offering us both in person and virtual sessions. The choreography was really personalized, both to our songs and the kinds of stuff we wanted to do. The choreo is impressive in the best way: she met us where we were with our dancing skills levels (one of us is definitely not a dancer lol) but also challenged us gently to go above and beyond and really learn some cool moves. And the process of doing dance lessons itself was really fun - great way to get excited about the wedding day. On top of that Priti is so kind, skilled, and experienced; we're really privileged to be able to work with someone who has worked at the highest stages of dance. We have loved working with Saanwee, would highly recommend them for any wedding or other dance services, and are excited to keep working with Saanwee!

My daughter and I were preparing for her wedding and knew 2 things: 1) the song we wanted to use for our father-daughter dance, and 2) we wanted our dance to be special and to be fun. But our problems came it twos as well: 1) neither of us is a dancer, and 2) we had no idea as to what sort of dance to employ with this song. We went to Priti for help and she not only assessed our (lack of – my words) dance ability, but choreographed and taught us the perfect dance for this song and our abilities. We came into our lessons with a feeling of trepidation and anxiety, and left with confidence and a sense of anticipation. This allowed us to have what I felt was the perfect experience at our daughter's wedding: we had fun! The dance went well and was very well received - we still made a few mistakes, but did not care. The main mission was accomplished and we received many kudos for our dance as a bonus! I would strongly recommend using Priti’s expertise and easy style whether you are a beginner needing a lot of help or a seasoned dancer wanting some ‘tweaking’ or simply another expert perspective.

We really appreciated Priti - her patience, expertise, encouragement, and serenity when we were anxious about the dance. She has an extensive and incredible dance background, and had a great balance of giving constructive criticism and encouraging small accomplishments over time until they got better. We really liked the choreography to our song, and she was patient when we decided to change our song after the first few lessons. Lastly, she was very easy to talk to and helped us to enhance our stage presence. We would highly recommend her!! =)

Priti was absolutely amazing! She helped us create a great first dance routine for our wedding day. The moves were easy to learn and looked great when put together. She teaches the steps and then we put them together into chunks allowing time for practice in between sessions for the sequence of moves to become muscle memory. She even helped my father and I with our father/daughter dance. We completed it in one session since she did such a great job coming up with a sweet but simple routine for us!

Priti has truly been a godsend for us! We had been wanting to choreograph our first dance, but, as with any wedding, we were slowly running out of time. We contacted Priti about a month before our big day, and not only was she able to accommodate her schedule for us, but she created a routine that was unforgettable! Priti has the patience of a saint, and her ability to adapt on the fly is amazing! It has been a pleasure to work with her, and we can't wait to see our final product! Thank you, Priti, for making our first dance, unforgettable!

My wife and I loved working with Priti while preparing for our first dance at our wedding. Priti broke down the whole routine into multiple components, which we practiced independently before combining all of them into a complete routine. Priti made the whole process, which we were expecting to be a daunting task, not only approachable, but incredibly fun! I would *highly* encourage anyone looking for a fun, talented, approachable dance instructor to consider Priti for your dancing lessons - highest of recommendations!

I am very grateful towards Saanwee for helping us with our wedding dance. Me and my husband, we both were non-dancers hence trainers at Saanwwe dance lessons in Hoboken designed the perfect dance with simple moves for us and made sure we get perfect in it. These guys were very patient and supportive. I highly recommend their dance lessons in Jersey city to every couple.

Priti Gupta-Udeshi is a very Good teacher, Dancer and Performer. She can make any of your Wedding function look like a celeb show. She makes your special day ultra special. A very good human by heart and soul too.

Working with Priti was effortless. She is an amazingly talented dancer and provides instruction with ease and grace. My husband and I decided that we wanted a choreographed dance for our first dance rather than risk just swaying back and forth on the floor. Priti gave us simple steps and a combination of moves that made for an impressive first dance. Our MC came to us after we finished and told us that he has seen many choreographed routines, but ours gave him goosebumps. We received compliments all night long and we cannot wait to see how it turns out on the video. As someone who is uncomfortable around strangers and more reserved, I was terrified to execute this routine; however, Priti was reassuring and because of her instruction and the sequence she put together, we were able to not only get through the dance, but also enjoy the dance. It was like second nature when we got started. I would highly recommend Priti and Sanwee Performing Arts for anyone looking for a great instructor with an incredible gift for choreographing dances.

Working with Priti has been a wonderful experience. She is extremely patient and her passion for dancing and teaching is what makes learning with her so pleasant. Her encouraging words helped us achieve more than we could imagine. She is very knowledgeable and a true professional. We are lucky we found her!

One of the most memorable day of my life was made the best one with Priti's beautifully choreographed wedding dance. Not only did my husband and I loved to perform but even the journey of learning it was enjoyable and splendid!!! All thanks to Priti, she completely understood all my jitters of being a non-dancer. She made us so comfortable that not for a second we felt that we are new to this. Her patience, perseverance, passion towards dancing and highly professional attitude was just perfect for making us feel at home. Simply put she is the BEST!!! I would highly recommend to book Priti's services before she runs out of appointments!!!! ;)

Priti did a fantastic job, given that we both had two left feet when we started! Learning dance is something enjoyable to do as a couple, when things can be a little stressful before the wedding. It was just what we wanted, we are so glad we found you. It was such a wonderful moment as everyone watched us dance. Thank you for all that you did!

Working with Priti Gupta-Udeshi was such a refreshing experience! She recently choreographed a wedding dance sequence for the family wedding and was able to cater to dancers of various levels of expertise / style / comfort levels (both both in person and via video) with such ease and elan. Her dance move analogies are hilarious, relatable and so easy to remember. We had a fantastic sequence and practicing for the dance was one of the best memories my family has of the wedding. Thank you Priti.. we miss you now that you moved.

I am not a "dance-person" but my family wanted to make a memorable wedding function with the dance evening and they chose Saanwee. Initially I was scared and had a typical not-so-confident stride with heels on with the instructor. But having had the first session I wasn`t able to believe the feat I had achieved after my instructor had worked on how I could achieve each step with such ease and work to perfection!! She was able to bring the best out of me, my husband and my family members who were all part of show. I would strongly recommend Saanwee to not just all beginners but also to anyone who wants to learn Indian, Latin American, the instructor is simply fabulous and extremely knowledgeable because she is a physiotherapist too....

My husband and I aquired the services of Priti prior to our wedding. She totally understood our hestitation initially since neither one of us danced before. She was very patient with us and super professional. I would highly recommend Priti to anyone looking to learn to dance.
