We love the choreography and opportunity to grow and thrive in dance. We have been enrolling continuously for the past couple of sessions and we love it. read more

A heartfelt thank you to you, Aditya and the entire crew at Gurus of Dance⁩ for a spectacular show! Proud parents of our dance60 gurulettes including my daughter's performance. Your class was her initiation to Bollywood dance. As a parent volunteer I got to enjoy watching kiddos throughout the show plus the backstage energy just before showtime. A very memorable experience! read more

We had a great experience with Gurus of Dance. Our 4-year-old loved the classes and always came home happy and excited to show new steps. The instructor was very patient, friendly, and made learning fun for little kids. We really appreciate how they encouraged our child and helped them feel confident. read more

worst experience . staff has so much of rude attitude and doesn't have any patience to handle kids. I stopped sending my kid after few classes after making full payment.. totally waste of time and money. read more

This was first structured dancing class for my 3.5 years old daughter. I was bit skeptical about she will do in the class but right from first class, all my doubts were dispelled. She thoroughly enjoyed all her classes, in-fact she looked forward to attending them every weekend. Her instructor, Anya was pretty great in ice-breakers and getting all kids interested in dancing. My daughter's final day stage performance was pure joy to watch. I am happy that she had great time learning and performing. read more

May be good for teen agers but certainly not recommended for young kids (1) kids safety issues that can really injure a kid it is not taken seriously enough, sharp stuff lying on floor where kids walk in bear foot and no one in staff seems to be serious enough to take immediate action even after you draw their attention. (2) Some young kids may get afraid after seeing an environment where instructor scolds one or another kid (3) kids standing shivering outside for half an hour just to know they were asked to come at earlier time (4) there is no proper lost and found option, if kids forget no one answers properly This company will nickel and dime parents for everything once you sign up. Also, before making decision to join your kid any dance company, please go and see their shows for your child's age group, don't rely on YouTube videos or promotion material or words. It's human nature that every parent will tell you dance company where their kid goes is great. My personal opinion there are several dance companies where younger kids do much better job while teenagers are choreographed well here. read more

My child has been part of GSquad at Gurus of Dance in Milpitas for a few years now, and it's been such a joyful journey. The growth we've seen - not just in dance skills but in confidence and teamwork - has been incredible. Aditya and the other instructors are passionate, supportive, and truly care about the kids. It feels like a second family. We're so grateful to be part of this amazing dance community! read more

Okay, here's a simpler review for Gurus Of Dance, based on your feedback: We really love Gurus Of Dance for Bollywood classes in the Bay Area! Our daughter goes there, and it's been great. We get reports at the end of each semester that clearly show us how she's doing and how much she's learned. It's super helpful to see her progress. Our daughter already loved to dance, and Gurus Of Dance has made her love it even more. They do a fantastic job of encouraging her passion. We're happy with everything from the very start - signing up was easy, the practice classes are good, and the performances they put on are amazing. Seeing our daughter on stage is wonderful! We've had a really good experience overall and would definitely tell other parents to check out Gurus Of Dance. read more

Great experience and learning. Open to all ages. Teachers are very talented and patient. They run the show! Performance quarters are the best as kids look forward to dancing in front of huge crowd. read more

An amazing institution where the kids learn some great choreography, perform on stage twice a year and but make life long friends. The shows are just amazing. read more

A lot of commitment, but overall fun experience. Enjoyed the practices and performing.

My daughter was enrolled in the performance session last year and at first it seemed good but I quickly realized that the teacher herself was a teen who Dosent really have a full grasp of how to teach. You may know how to dance but that Dosent always translate into being a good dance teacher. I am not blaming the teacher, but the company itself who thinks it's alright to take money from people to have a child teach their children. They didn't make sure that everyone knew the dance (there were a handful of kids in my child's class who had no clue on stage), they didn't make sure it was somewhat synchronized (again, ages 5-8, but when everyone starts separately ,!it's not their fault, it's the teachers.) The biggest downside was the organization of performance itself. I was a volunteer and was told each class would have two parents (makes sense since if one child had to go to the bathroom, there should be another parent with the other children at their seats...) but I was the only one, running back and forth, with no one telling me what the check out policy or anything was...I basically had to wait for the parents to come to me and made sure the kids recognized their parent and let them go..which , as a parent, I would feel very uneasy about with small kids (ages 5-8). I had to multiple times take a few kids out to go to the restroom during performances, leaving half the class inside hoping none of them run or walk away. Again, it's run by teenagers so really, how can you expect them to take care of other kids. I wouldn't have minded if my child was older but for small kids, no.. it was a shit show. I really wanted to like them but I wouldnt put my child in a class again, unless she is older and even then, depends on who's teaching the class. read more

Dont get fooled by there perfomances session pic or their adv , its there guru of dance squad team. Actual student performance is below the level. Bcoz the instructor dont teach well ,they have no intention to teach Instructors are good dancer but unfortunately thet are not good teachers. Not a good place for learning dance. read more

Very unprofessional behavior. My kid is going to 6-8 beginners class here. I came here for scheduled class today and got to know the class is canceled. The instructor posted it in front of me on facebook that there is no class today due to spring break. I would like to understand why can't they be responsible and mindful enough of others time and post such things in advance or better send an email in advance. Is that too hard? Very much disappointed i am. This instructor is also absent for many classes and every time a new instructor takes the class. Out of 5 classes so far, she was absent for 3 and canceled 1 read more

On the website, it was written New Students - $5 and for other students $69 instead of $79. It was written that new students will pay $79 but once it is decided that they are NEW, the money will be refunded except for $5. But they did refund me only $10 i.e. my daughter was charged $69 just like everyone else. They texted me at 12:03 am at night to tell me that my daughter's class has been canceled and I have to enroll in another class. The dance teacher was good and professional. But the administrative part of this company is horrible and unethical. read more

Our both kids are part of G-squad at Gurus of Dance. It's a great school for learning Bollywood dance style. The owner, Aditya Patel is great dancer and very passionate about his work. He has a good way of teaching young kids and they all learn and respect him as a guru. Both of our kids have learnt a lot here. Kids/Students put up a great performance twice a year at the show. Aditya is personally involved in training kids. He understands each kid's potential and always pushes them to become better and deliver the best of their abilities. The management and logistics especially in and around show time can use some improvement but overall we are very happy to be part of this group. read more

We are very happy with our journey with Gurus It's a pleasure to see the kids getting to learn different dancing styles There is never a bored with routine moment with Gurus as the classes are ever evolving Every show is done in a very professional manner with grand costumes The energy is infectious read more

My daughter has been with Gurus of Dance for a few years now. She looks forward to each class and performance not only because of the friendship she has developed over the years with the group of dancers but also the instruction and coaching she gets from Aditya Patel. Aditya has a knack with his students to push them out of their comfort zone and get them to perform at their best abilities while still allowing them some room to have fun and enjoy the experience. I see the students strive to give it every ounce of perfection they can and that speaks volumes for the passion that Aditya instills in each of his students. read more

Gurus Of Dance - Performing Arts Near Me - Milpitas, California

We partnered with Gurus of Dance for a virtual corporate event for Diwali. It was a pleasure to work with Aditya and our audience loved the virtual dance workshop!! Thank you to the Gurus of Dance team for a great event. read more

Stay Away! This is the most absurd and fraud dance institution anywhere! I registered my child who is a boy in a dance class and they chose a classical female song. I requested them to be mindful of kids gender, they responded that I registered too late and they already decided the song. They refused to refund and just issued the credit for a future class. I registered again and in advance, this time they again picked a female item song and gave the excuse that they pick songs 4 weeks in advance, which they did not tell me the first time. So they basically lied. When I asked for refund, they kept $25 as refund fee. It's a group of amateur, unprofessional and rude folks running classes with no regards to parents choices or kids interests, and they charge you for disagreeing with them. Their policies are no where listed or apparent on their site or during checkout. My child has attended classes in other places, and every place takes children's preferences into consideration and respect diversity rather than defrauding students and parents. Don't ever select this institution if you want you child to have fun classes. Very disappointing experience. read more

AMAZING experience!!!! Aditya always teaches us all the techniques to refine Dance steps in a fun way I have been enjoying all my sessions and continue to do so. The Gurus of dance is a very professional dance company. All the instructors (Aditi,Ritika, and Aditya) are very talented. Highly recommended. read more

This turned out to be a bad deal. Put my daughter in the beginning class (age 15). The coreographer had some of the worst moves. In one part of the song, he manged to incorporate the chicken dance. It was just bad all around. Waste of our money. read more

Awesome place and team to learn dancing skills and techniques. I have learned from Gurus of dance and performed on Bollywood dance numbers. I highly recommend this place for learning dancing and brushing up moves. Superb read more

I met some of the best set of people being part of Gurus of Dance Company. Aditya is very passionate about what he does, he puts his soul & all his energy in planning every details for Gurus of dance program and present the best show to entertain audience. Costumes, props and Graphic are some of the highlights of the show you can witness. They teach different dance styles for all level dancer from beginner to advance to masters and their classes are available at multiple convenient location. Do check them out. read more

Gurus of Dance amazing dance studio. I've been at multiple dance studios, but this one has the nicest staff. My daughter had a really great time and the instructor was fun and motivating. Very clean studio that is definitely covid safe.They have resolved all my queries.Highly recommended if you live in Milpitas, CA and are interested in learning dance. read more

I'd recommend these classes to everyone! The classes are so much fun and you'll also get to learn the techniques of steps. I have been part of the classes for the last 2 quarters and I love being here. Aditya (owner) makes sure each one gets the attention required and ensures you have a beautiful journey right from day 1 to the performance day. The shows are organized so well and especially during COVID times these classes & shows are such bliss. Thank you @GurusofDanceTeam, for such an experience! read more

My daughter was part of this years fall semester show at Gurus Dance Academy in the Junior G-Squad. Over the last 3 months the academy has worked tirelessly to put a show at par with the likes of professional shows with great choreography, sounds, lights and total high quality production. It was a great delight to watch the show and see the fruition of the efforts put in by the students and the academy. Gurus Dance Academy headed by Aditya Patel is a place for individuals who want to pursue their interests in performing on a stage. With able guidance, amazing choreography and single minded focus on perfection, this academy has taught my daughter not just dance but the value of hard work, perseverance and group dynamics. Looking forward to the coming year for the Ramayana musical. Wishing the best. read more

These folks are completely unethical. I asked for a refund before my kids started any classes. After no response, I then call my credit card company to start a dispute. It seems they saw this to be a problem and finally contacted me and said they would refund. Foolishly, I trusted these crooks and removed the dispute, but these thieves didn't just keep the initial charges, but they then charged another $448! Why? Why do something so unethical! read more

This is my third consecutive quarter with Gurus of dance, this shows how much I am enjoying learning dance here. My experience with every instructor (Aditi, Ritika, Aditya) is wonderful. I have not only learned choreography of a song but also dance techniques through the process which helps any dancer to evolve. Aditya (owner) is very affable which makes Gurus of Dance great place to learn dance and have fun at the same time. read more

One of the worst dance company. Very badly managed, They cancels class in the middle of a session. Cancels the class but will not refund the fees. Look else where for a proper professional company to learn dance. instructor is always late for the class. read more

I've been working with this company for a few years now but I wanted to write a post because I started out as a dancer. I've been dancing for over 15 years all around the bay, however I keep coming back here for the people. Sure, the dancing is great and there is a lot of opportunity to learn new things and challenge yourself, but I absolutely just love being around this crowd. The company is filled with genuine, positive, and passionate people. This is the kind of energy I want to be around. read more

With out any doubt, gurusofdance has best choreographers. Here are some.umprovement areas- 1) First 4 classes that were taught were not related to performance dance and as a new student, wasnt aware of this during signup. Would have joined only sessions related to dance performance if I could have known ahead. 2) Instructors could have done much better job by prepping for dance steps ahead.of class than during the class time. They may have prepped ahead but most classes seemed like trial and error during class.time. So planning ahead by Instructors is very much a requirement and expectation from students. 3) Several changes in choreo and the positioning was not finalized until last class.of the day. As much as we expect students need to pick up these.ongling changes, instructor can.do better job in being systematic with their.plan. 4) It is no doubt a fun class but opportunity for instructors to be bit more mindful regarding comments made on students. Although they are all made in a jolly mood, and students enjoy getting challenged, there is a thin line that we need to be mindful off :-). 5) I had 3-4 emails asking for invoice from gurusof dance team and there was.no follow-up response..not sure why would that be such a difficult ask. Overall, enjoyed my dance time with dance buddies and look forward to more fun time at gurusofdance. read more

I joined Gurus of Dance recently as part of the Pros team. I have never met a group of more humble, inclusive, and dedicated people. Aditya does a great job not only teaching but fostering an environment filled with love, community, and family. Gurus of Dance has given me the opportunity to continue my passion for dance alongside my hectic work schedule, which I cannot be thankful enough for! read more

Every season starts with struggle, but end result is gratifying when you see your kids on stage working hard and performing with their fellow dancers. What matters is kids learning to work hard & appreciate the effort it takes to put together such a great show where they are showcased. Kudos to Gurus of Dance for creating great spectacle , quarter after quarter. At the same time I would appreciate if they have better song choices. read more

Watched an outstanding show by Guru's of dance last night. Brilliant dancers and choreographers ramped up the energy of the entire audience. Me and my daughter also performed at the show. Excellent experience dancing with them. Will keep coming back for more. read more

My son and daughter had been taking Bollywood classes from Gurus of Dance for the past 6 years. Aditya is an amazing instructor, so are Candice, Smitha, Sonia and the rest of the crew. They teach various forms of dance every quarter, giving kids exposure to different cultures across India. Aditya keeps pushing kids to work harder and get better. In my kids' words "He wouldn't settle for good or great, he demands excellence." And they absolutely love him. The instructors come up with stunning choreography for every dance. Kids get to perform in very prestigious events like the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival, the Fremont Ganesh Festival, and various popular concerts. This has improved their overall confidence levels. My daughter who was initially nervous on the stage, over the years became so confident that now she can do stand up comedy all by herself to a large audience. The dance routines, instructors, shows, costumes... all of these deserve 5 stars. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is because of the hassle of driving kids to San Jose every weekend. They used to have classes in Dublin, however recently they have moved majority of the advanced/gSquad classes to San Jose. read more

Great place to pick up Bollywood moves. The 2 student shows every year are simply a treat to the eyes. Great colorful costumes by Candice. Fantastic choice of songs. Kids learn to be accountable for themselves. Aditya holds everybody to high standards. It makes the kids resilient. Students also have a lot of fun. It is not all work, no play situation. They have their fair share of bonding and camaraderie. Choice of songs is totally praiseworthy. The finale is always on a very recent song. The creative director joins for a bit in the finale. It's good for new audiences to watch him in action. He is a good listener and always open to new ideas/comments/suggestions. That is probably one of the reasons why the company has grown so rapidly in the past few years. He is very passionate about his art. Perfection is not a choice once you are part of the gsquad and higher levels. In 2018 the kids won a lot of local competitions in Bay Area and also represented Bay Area at the finals of DANCE USA DANCE, in New York (on Broadway).Truly breathtaking choreography. 4 stars for 2 reasons. (1) I used to love the 4 quarters per year format. Not thrilled about the 2 semester system. Feels kinda restrictive and tied down. (2) They used to have dance classes in East Bay. Now it is all in South Bay. Not particularly excited about all the time kids spend away from home on almost all weekends. read more

My daughters dancing and confidence skills on stage continue to be enhanced and she loves to be part of the company and stage every show. Ratna is a great addition to the instructor crew and it was good to see dance styles from different parts of India in the recent show. The company can continue this trend and recruit more instructors who can bring different styles of dance and their own choreo skills to the company read more

I've been dancing with Gurus of Dance for 2 years now and I must say Aditya is an amazing teacher whose patience impresses me. Teaching a talent in which you excel in to students is a craft, and Aditya does great at it. We always learn a different style of dancing every quarter and are encouraged to focus on learning the basics of that style, which is commendable. I've learned dance at a few places and I haven't met a teacher who is so focused on basics as Aditya is. He corrects if our hand is sideways compared to straight, he focuses on the nitty gritty. We have a wonderful performance held twice a year and we get plenty of training leading up to that along with a stage rehearsal. Aditya and his company are a fantastic bunch of instructors who make every class fun and informational. I'll be continuing to dance here for years to come and very much encourage others who want to learn dance! read more

See all

This review is for gsquad group. My kid loves going to her gsquad dance sessions. The teachers are very talented and they teach the kids a wide variety of dance forms. The school concentrates on how to correct the kids body form while dancing and introduce strength in the movements. Their dance shows are fun to watch. They also teach kids to be independent, dress for the show by themselves and learn to take responsibility for their own costumes from a very young age. I specially liked this as the kids learn important life skills along with dancing. read more
