Hello Ma’am, wanted to share with you today’s highlight in addition to the performances.

We happened to visit Austin Hindu Temple right after performance as there was Rath Yatra of Ayodhya Ram Lalla Murthi around 11:30. We went in same costume as we didn’t have enough time to change.

Seeing Isha, priest there asked her to perform a song and she got a chance to dance for Sita Rama Kalyana song in front of the Rath Yatra Ram Lalla Murthi from Ayodhya in the Austin Hindu Temple!

Thank you so much! It was a truly blessed day and it was all because of you!

Ms. Hema, I want to let you know that Mili had such an amazing dance school year with you. She was so fortunate to have you as her teacher. It’s really hard to find a good teacher like you. I really felt she changed so much in the way she thinks about our traditions and the values you taught. Mili has changed so much not only as a dancer but also in embracing good values. Thank you for everything. I felt like she found you when she needed you. I know she would love to follow you as her role model in the future. I can’t express how happy I am when I see her progress in dance and her behavior too. Thank you is a small word but it means a lot for us what you are teaching her. You are the best! As Mili alway says…We agree with her words in reality.

Thank you!

Hi Hema Aunty! This is a bit random, but I joined a dance team at UT today! It’s a non-competitive bharatanatyam and kathak group and I loved being able to dance again with so many people after a year and a half of not dancing. I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate all that I have learned from you over the years and hope to learn even more!

If you are looking for an awesome online cultural enrichment/arts/camp for your child, please consider Samspra Academy! Both of my girls are longtime Samspra students, and the owner,

Hema Raja is a dear friend. She is also a Texas certified science teacher, an exquisite classical dancer, and an all-around ray of sunshine! 

(I am making this recommendation as a Samspra parent and fan of Hema, and not as an AISD trustee!)
