The best dance instructor in the whole wide world. Can teach anyone, even if you have two left feet ;-)!

SSD has introduced such a wonderful art to our community for kids and adults likewise. Thank you for being a champion in getting the kids and adults understand and respect this wonderful art of dance.

Ms. EKTA is very very patient calm and ever smiling person. She is a great teacher and friend. I joined the SSD group in August 2019 and wish to continue until I get fully trained in kathak. GOD WILLING!

The best Kathak school ever!!! My daughter and I are enjoying learning Kathak for past 2 years with Ekta Popat who is so talented yet so patient with her students no matter what age group. The syllabus is extremely structure and well executed. I highly recommend SSD you are thinking about learning the art of storytelling.

I joined SSD 7 months ago with no knowledge of Kathak and I have improved significantly in no time and I feel I m connected to SSD from a long time. Our Guru Ektaji is so patient to teach us Kathak. I feel blessed to be part of SSD. From young kids to adults we all enjoy being students of SSD.

I’ve been attending classes with SSD Houston for nearly 2 years and absolutely love how organized and professional Ekta is as a Kathak teacher. Not only that, she really cares about her students!

Storytellers School of Dance is the go to studio to learn Indian classical dance! The passion and love for dance is very evident from the instructor/owner Ekta. Her level of discipline, professionalism and ability to relate to her students is beyond anything Ive ever seen. I highly recommend storytellers for beginners, experts or anyone that is curious about the beautiful story that the school embodies.
