Sun Bollywood, Newark CA

We rented costumes from Sun Bollywood and the size, the fit, the color and quality, everything was just right. The procedure to decide the costume from gallery, to go check, to pick, to pay, to drop off - everything was straightforward. We will rent costumes from them again for the kids' next performance.

I have tried other Bollywood dance company in the past for my 5 year old daughter, but I would say Sun Bollywood was the best among all in the bay area. Suneeta is excellent in teaching younger kids dance well. Her energy & focus to make all kids learn and dance on the stage was impressive. Stage show organized by Suneeta & her team was one of the best experience!

My daughter was attending Sun Bollywood in the last session. She liked Sun Bollywood and loved dancing with Ms. Sunitha. Ms. Sunitha is an amazing teacher. Sun Bollywood’s Sunsational programs are very well organized and executed. The best school in Bay Area.

My daughter is 4.5 yrs and has been going to Sun Bollywood for 6 months now. She loves her dance classes and I can already see improvement in her full body coordination and expressions. Ms. Sunita is wonderful at keeping the kids engaged and breaking down the steps to meet the kids at their level. She is patient and fun. She takes a lot of effort in making sure the grande finale performance is professionally done and that every student feels that sense of accomplishment at the end.

Sunita,
Thanks again for spending the morning with Brightworks last Friday. I loved that every age level learned a different dance routine that was well-matched with the kids' abilities. Your rapport with the kids was great and you made it fun, engaging, and informative for everybody. I also love that you introduced them to Bollywood culture! The kids in my group (10-11 year olds) absolutely loved learning the dance moves and they kept begging me to play the song on repeat so they could keep dancing long after the class had ended:)

If we were to have this event again in the future, we would love to invite you back. If that were to happen, please let me know if there is anything the school should try to do differently on our end.

Here is some feedback that I gathered from other staff members:

Mahathee (middle school collaborator)
I thought she was so great! High energy, sharp and sensible precision in both classroom culture and purpose.:)
Her well seasoned experience definitely shows!

Rob (support collaborator)
I want to thank you for making today a day to remember for all of us here at Brightworks. Dance is one of the greatest art forms of all and today you brought us movement with a story and it was accompanied by amazing music. I love the way you broke down each dance step to make it easier for us all to follow. My second favorite part was looking around the room and seeing a room full of smiles. Thank you so much.

Debolina (parent)
You were amazing for so many different reasons: You had dance moves and music that was specific for each age group showing how thoughtful you are about age and developmentally appropriate dance moves. It shows how well you understand all the ages. All the different aged kids responded so well because the music and moves spoke to where they are in their development. You broke down the complex moves into sizable chunks allowing everyone to "do" the dance moves. I saw the kids (and adults) listening to the music and doing the dance well after the class. In fact, my daughter was teaching the moves to her sister during the weekend. Thank you Sunita, you are awesome!

Emily (first grade teacher)
The dance class was amazing! Sunita struck the perfect balance between giving students a challenge and helping them be successful. The dance felt both silly enough to be safe and engaged with culture. Kids were so proud of themselves and it was many kids' favorite part of the day! My only thought would be seeing if there's a way she can be elevated so all the kids can see her feet.

Karin (lower elementary teacher)
Thank you for bringing your energy and your dance moves to the Brightworks Holi celebration. The six, seven, and eight-year-olds had so much fun dancing Bollywood. The way you teach choreography, breaking down steps while explaining the meaning of the moves, made it accessible and engaging for the young ones. You are a pro. Thank you so much.

Michlene (high school teacher)
Dear Sunita - it was so fun to dance with you and to watch my high schoolers let down their guard and really partake in this wonderful dance form. You made all the moves accessible and you were so flexible with them. Our youth really enjoyed themselves. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again in the future.

Anthony (assistant head of school)
It was truly a pleasure watching you teach and share your love of dance. Every time I walked back into your class I was taken by how everybody in the room no matter what their skill level was dancing or smiling or trying to put together the wonderful combinations you taught them. It was a beautiful thing being a part of the joyous world you created for all of us.

Thank you!

Saniha Dogganahalli, my daughter is been going to Sunbollywood, since she was seven and now she is 15yr old and till today she goes with the same excitement and is very happy to be part of sunbollywood family!

Thank you miss Sunita for mentoring the kids as they dance and have FUN

My daughter started dancing with Sun Bollywood since she was 3, she has been enjoying bollywood dance for the last 5 years. Ms Sunita's unique style of engaging and teaching kids made my daughter build interest in bollywood songs. Ms. Sunita makes the class so fun and exciting for kids that they always look forward to it. She is exceptional in engaging kids, puts in great efforts to make them learn cool moves.

My kids have been dancing with SunBollywood for more than 8 years! They love music and enjoy the dancing at SunBollywood. The best part they say - it is about having fun and learning new steps rather than getting focused on competing. In addition to all the learning the annual performance is great fun for the kids and the parents alike as well as a great way to get your students an opportunity to perform in front of big groups of people. Highly recommend!

Sun bollywood is fun and good place for kids to dance and it is good platform for my daughter to build her confidence. My daughter is going to the fremont classes for 2 years and is loving it. Ms. Sunitha is a good dance teacher. The programs give a big stage to perform and are excellent. We love to continue with the dance classes for more years to come.
