"Hi

I don't have enough words to express my feelings. My kids always enjoy your classes and programs. The classes with Jeena kids are making a big impact on their life.I was just watching Vivek's other side on  stage that day. How much my 10yr old is grown and taking care of Sai on stage. Also how happy Priya was with Parvathy. I am not mentioning others name only because I don't know their names. You all did great. Any one wondering what this -  please check Special kids program and also after the program on stage how the kids are taking care of each other. Thanks a lots for giving us this opportunity. We do have lots of Dance classes around here but this is the uniqueness of IFDA. I still remember after the last year's program, I was just wondering how we can help Jeena kids, and it is amazing how far they came.Just watch last year's special kids program and watch this year's program , you can realize the huge impact the kids made to each other. Parents

Please take a moment and check that out and give your kids also this opportunity that working with Jeena kids. This is going to benefit both ways. This made a huge impact on my kids.Thanks again for giving us this opportunity.

"Hello Selvi and Lavanya,

I must Congratulate you both on the awesome show, it was flawless!

From the audience both my husband and my mom said that each and every dance was beautiful!

I must thank you for putting so much effort to bring the best out of each child.

We are grateful especially for teaching Ayesha this beautiful piece of art..she has long ways to go!

"On behalf of Jeena parents, I would like to thank you all and your children for their precious time and dedication in spending time with our children. I totally agree that there has been such a big tranformation ,after last year event, in the children approach and attitude towards children with special needs. Can;t thank enough for Selvi for providing this opportunity for children with special needs. I was so thrilled on June 6th when children and parents , whom I don't know,applauded and encouraged my son, Athish before and after the program. I am so proud to be Selvi and Lavanya's friend and also be part of the IFDA family .
Selvi and Lavanya, keep up your good work and thanks parents and children for your continous support for Jeena kids.
Regards,
Meena Kalyanasundaram"

"Hi Selvi, Lavanya & Roop,
Fantastic job ! Congrats to your team.
I was especially impressed by the progress many kids have made- including the special need kids, kids who never wanted to be on stage, older kids dancing with grace now.
Enjoy the break.

Feedback After Jhalak Dreams 2008

"Selvi
Congratulations on a great show ! Some of us can only dream of such entrepreneurship and you have achieved it, so ENJOY !! Congratulations to all dancers! There is something to be said about each dance and its uniqueness, however the Couple's dance certainly caught the limelight due to its freshness, costume and the energy the dancers were projecting, so special congratulations to them !"
- Aditi

"Hi Selvi
Congratulations and thanks a lot for giving us a wonderful experience. My kids attended some other dance classes including classical/Bollywood before but this is such a unique experience for us. We as a family really enjoying it and we never want to stop. And the expectional part of it is the inclusion with Jeena kids."
- Raji Menon

"Hey Selvi,
CONGRATULATIONS!
It was a very impressive show and everyone I talked to enjoyed it a lot. Especially the part on JEENA was so touching and many thanks from all of us on organizing this fundraiser. I loved your efforts on the backdrop - the DVD you prepared with all the songs, names of participants and of course the Jeena part. Well done and more to come!"

Best wishes,
- Shweta and the whole EICA team

Many Congratulations to you too for producing such amazing results from your students! I personally was on 12th heaven during and after the performance with such objective appreciation from the audience, hard to beat that in my opinion!! My husband also commented that I was glowing bigtime with happiness afterwards so thanks to you and performing was a pleasure of ours!!"

"Guys,
What a tremendous high!! that was an awesome experience. I watched the video as soon as i got home- we were so well coordinated!!! Thanks Selvi for letting me be a part of this. This has been a once in a lifetime experience for me- never thought i would be learning bharatnatyam at my age!! My family is upset they missed watching it alive and telling me to perform with you guys in April!!"
