Meet the Teacher

Isha Ferraz’s deep resonance with Indian culture, Vedic philosophy, spirituality, yoga, and classical arts led her to the rich and expressive tradition of Indian Classical dance in the Kuchipudi style. She began her formal training in 2012 under Guru Smt. Divya Shaker in Austin, Texas. After relocating to California in 2014, she continued her practice under Guru Smt. Lakshmi Bhavani Konduru. In 2019, Isha further refined her Kuchipudi technique and understanding under the guidance of accomplished artist Yamini Kalluri.
Her journey as a teacher of Indian dance disciplines began in 2014 (she was teaching other dance forms from 2007), offering semi-classical workshops and classes for adults, teenagers and kids. Since then, she has taught in a variety of settings — both in person and online — to students across the U.S. and India.
Continuously evolving as both an artist and educator, Isha remains devoted to sharing the beauty, joy and depth of Indian dance. Through her teaching and performances, she seeks to inspire others to experience the transformative power of this beautiful art form.
