Coach Rana does an amazing job keeping kids engaged and also teaching them not only how to play dhol/dance but also what each step means and how it all comes together. Our son has developed a passion for playing the dhol and has made so much progress in a short amount of time!Tara Tuchscherer2023-12-13We had Winnipeg Punjabi Arts Academy spend an entire day at our high school in December 2023. Ranveer was amazing to work with right from the time of my inquiry - he was very accommodating. Communication was prompt and professional. He led 5 simultaneous dance workshops (with a lunch break) with groups of students ranging in size from 20 and up to 50! He was engaging and managed the group effortlessly! The students loved the workshops and continue to talk about this experience. I would highly recommend WPAA for your events and workshops. We cannot wait to have them back to host more workshops!Mina Razzaq2023-11-27I contacted Winnipeg Punjabi Arts Academy last minute for my sister’s wedding as we had a cancellation with our previous performer.
