I would like to share my appreciation for Surya Foundation for performing arts corp, which has been instrumental in preserving and promoting Indian classical music and dance form to the new generation. The foundation’s commitment to imparting the rich cultural heritage of India through dance and music is truly commendable. The events organized by them, not only serve as a platform for young dancers to showcase their skills but also contribute to the promotion of Indian culture within the community.

Soorya Foundation has been one of the best organizations I have volunteered for. The impact it had on the community and myself cannot be overstated. This foundation has allowed me to discover my leadership skills and make use of other abilities I had at my disposal. My hobbies, which I did simply for myself and my interest at first, could now be used for a real and valuable cause. Soorya Foundation has also had a great impact on the community as a whole, bringing people together to celebrate the great ancient arts and cultures, ensuring that it has a place in the modern world. The people who work in Soorya are great and it is a very fun and energetic environment. Overall, it is a great establishment with a very bright future and I hope Soorya can keep growing and continue to bring Indian art and culture to everybody.

Dance is my passion and I had been looking to resume my dance for quite some time when I found Guru Sushma Mohan and Soorya foundation. With my very first interaction with her she made me feel very comfortable and I could feel her passion towards dance and teaching. Under her expert guidance I have been able to not only resume dance as a student but also progress and spread the passion along by teaching her younger students. I'm very thankful to Guru Sushma and Soorya foundation for all the efforts put towards spreading the love and passion of dance to the next generation!!

Soorya Foundation for Performing Arts is an organization that promotes Indian Classical Arts in the United States. Sushma Mohan has been instrumental in teaching Carnatic classical music and Bharatanatyam to young artists and adults alike. Along with teaching, she beautifully organizes different events and hosts other artists of different classical artforms, spreading the rich culture of India. I have performed for her organization twice and I have not been disappointed with the quality of events she brings to the audience. She is a true professional and a wonderful person. I definitely recommend her and her institution for learning and spreading Indian Classical Arts.

Soorya foundation has been conducting programs every three months once and has the kids dance on the stage. Even in the pandemic, the Soorya foundation has conducted many online dance programs which were like a stress buster to the students as well as to the parents. They conduct programs in which the dancers across the states in US and India can participate. More than the dance kids learn the discipline from Guruji.

My kid learned dances for different song performances the most important thing is that she knows the meaning of each line in the song which is taught by Guruji Sushma Mohan. We are very blessed to have a talented, disciplined, and hard-working teacher

We held the first ever Indian festival in Santa Barbara County and Sushma was an integral part of it. The moment I called her not only was she super helpful in what I needed but also in getting herself and her troop together. She came in on time did an incredible performance that was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone and we will continue using her in the future
