Oh, where do I even begin?! Kunahree is an absolute dynamo! We had the privilege of having her perform at our wedding, and let me tell you, she blew us away! Right from the get-go, Kunahree was not just a dancer; she was a dream-weaver! 🌟
She not only listened to our requests but turned them into a spectacle beyond our wildest dreams! The energy she brought was infectious, and the way she tailored the performance to fit our wedding was nothing short of magical. 💫
Communication? Flawless! Zero issues, and a ton of excitement building up to the big day. Kunahree, along with her fantastic colleague, turned our wedding into a Bollywood extravaganza! The dance was more than amazing—it was a burst of vibrant talent and pure joy. 💃🕺
And can we talk about those authentic outfits? Talk about adding that extra flair! It was like stepping into a Bollywood blockbuster right at our wedding venue. The talent displayed was mind-blowing! 🌈
But here's the real kicker—Kunahree and her colleague weren't just performers; they were family. So easy to talk to, so seamless in blending with the guests, it felt like they've been part of our lives forever. The atmosphere they created was warm, familial, and downright euphoric. 👏
In a nutshell, if you want to elevate your special occasion to legendary status, Kunahree is your go-to maestro of magic! Highly, highly recommend her and her phenomenal team. Thank you, Kunahree, for turning our wedding day into an absolute fairy tale! 🎉🙌

Congratulations again for embarking on a beautiful journey of marriage. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, love, and endless adventures!

What a fabulous show! We can keep writing pages of reviews for this team. Thank you Kanushree, Anamiika, & Roshini!
When I made the decision to have an Indian dance performance at my wedding, I wanted to make sure, they showed as many different dance forms India has, and I believe Sufiana Dance Company has succeed at showing all types of dance forms at the wedding. My wedding was majority of Canadians who have never seen Indian Dancing so it was very important to me to have someone who I can connect with and tell them what I really wanted. Kanushree listened to everything I wanted, we were on multiple calls through out the planning process and she told me she will deliver to all my demands. Kanushree, Anamiika, and Roshini have performed so well and made sure all the guests were engaged in the performance, it was the wedding of the decade, because their performance was the highlight of our wedding. They have exceed all my expectations and I am thankful I hired them for my special day
Wedding Guest Reviews: Till this day, all the guests are still amazed about how incredible the performance was and everyone who attended says they will remember the performance for rest of their lives. They have set the bar high for any future performances we might have in the family. We LOVED the show, it was magnificent. Some of the family members said: We absolutely loved watching the show. It was amazing from start to finish. It beautifully structured choreography throughout the whole performance.
My husband has literally never danced in his life and even he had the best time and danced with Kanushree and her team the whole time they were on the dance floor. The biggest treat for us is to watch someone who is dancing so completely that is clear to us the joy they all feel by performing. The common element to the performances was the strive for precision and perfection. The dancers were thoroughly captivating and it was clear to everyone in the audience that what they were presenting was the result of countless hours of practice and training. Their presentation represented different culture of India and different forms of dance, their outfits were amazing and it fit well with the whole performance as they were in traditional outfits. The props they used were the amazing addition that everyone enjoyed.
Thank you Kanushree, Anamiika and Roshini to make our wedding day beautiful and coming from out of town to perform for the wedding. I really appreciate it and I would definitely recommend you guys for any performance my family and friends would have and anyone who wants to hire you. You made sure everything was perfect from the performance, to clothes, to audience participation, and making sure my husband was on the dance floor.
My husband Luke says: Thank you for making our day special, If I had to choose anyone for future performances, I would choose you three every time for all my events. If you guys ever need a personal review, please contact us because the review here is just not enough to express how amazing and beautiful everything was. You guys were beyond perfect!
Thanks guys! you guys rocked!!!!

Kanushree is absolutely amazing. She put on a performance in which so many of our wedding guests still talk about to this day. She is friendly, easy to work with and ensure that you feel at ease prior to your special day.
We had a blended wedding (Guyanese/Italian) so we wanted to ensure that all guests had an experience they wouldn’t forget. Kanushree did an amazing job at bringing our dance floor to life. We wanted this performance to be a surprise to our guests and so Kanushree pretended to be a guests from the very start and she did an amazing job at that. We had our first dance and then…the magic happened. Kanushree preformed for our guest leaving everyone in aww 😊!
Following her performance she taught us (bride and groom) some dance moves followed by engaging with our guests. Our dance floor was filled with guests by the end of the performance. You can truly see her passion for dance and her years of experience teaching and performing. She is so incredibly talented.
If you are looking for a magical experience that will take your guests breath away, look no further and book Kanushree! Booking her was and still is the best decision we have made.
Kanushree, words cannot express how grateful we are for you. Thank you for bringing so much energy and culture to our wedding. We can’t wait to share our pictures and video when they are ready!
Your Friends,
Shaneeza and Joseph

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them! I am so happy I could be a part of your family’s special day and get everyone to enjoy themselves on the dance floor. It was truly an amazing experience to be performing for and with your guests! Thank you so much for choosing and trusting my dance services.
It was a surprise baby shower party. Kanushree’s dance was the highlight. She is an expert in Bollywood dances. She suggested the songs for the occasion which were liked by everyone. Her performance was mind blowing. She also got everyone foot tapping at the end of the party.

We co-hosted a mixed Scottish, Dutch, Canadian and Indian wedding for our son and his new wife on the Civic holiday weekend. With such a blend of cultures we wanted to ensure everyone felt included and involved. Kanushree performed several beautiful dances which had everyone at the reception clapping to the beat! A perfect way to liven things up! Kanushree returned to the dance floor after dinner and speeches, to draw people up to dance and try a different style of dancing! The "Westerners" jumped up to try and follow Kanushree's moves, and the Indians literally jumped into things! What a marvelous party!
We highly recommend Kanushree to anyone who wants both a beautiful performance and/or someone who will "pump up the crowd" and get everyone dancing!!
Thanks Kanushree! (more images will be added once we get official photos 😊)

Thank you so much for such a lovely review Patricia. I truly had a wonderful time dancing with your family and friends. I wish your son and daughter-in-law only the best of married life. Thank you so much again for letting me be a part of your beautiful event.
We have booked a group of dancers for my wedding who pulled out last minute, I was super stressed and when we reached out to Kanushree, she was super reassuring and responsive. Despite the last minute notice she still pulled together a dance set with the songs we wanted, performed beautifully, and had the entire wedding dancing for hours!! People were raving to me after about how I had the best wedding they'd ever been to and I guarantee it's because of her. She stayed way longer than our allotted time to ensure guests were engaged and dancing and not shy. Especially for non Indian guests, her experience as a dance teacher helped them feel comfortable loosening up and learning some easy moves. Thank you!!!!

She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! A true rockstar who made my friend's 40th Birthday party super-fun with her dance performances.
We especially loved her audience interaction afterwards where she did a dance along with a guest. She even got the birthday boy who's super shy to dance with her!
