From Puja’s Heart
SAE soon gained popularity and began to perform for the Toronto and other GTA festivals plus the Panorama programs in collaboration with the Consulate General. Puja started being called in by various other dance schools and companies to train their students. That was the start of her professional dance training program.
Today, her Professional Development (PD) programs are very successfully run. These PD programs are attended by students with the interest and potential to commit more to dance than the regular can, and to perform it professionally. The participants of this program are either auditioned or brought in by invitation only, on the basis of annual training contracts.
"I have worked with Sanskriti Arts for several years. Puja Amin (along with fellow teacher Nirmala Jadoonanan) has created beautiful, thrilling dances for students in various groups of youth. The dancers were profoundly challenged and they improved their co-ordination, stamina and expressiveness remarkably under these gifted teachers. Most of all, they had a great time and gained enormous confidence as well as invaluable exposure to the rich, vibrant and varied gifts Indian dance has to offer. I recommend Sanskriti without reservation!” Paula Wing - SoulPepper Theatre Company
