Hi Christina,
You are an inspiraiton to the world. Your hard work, your clear vison of life, all the more your passion for the Indian culture and heritage have brought you where you are now. I have lived in differents parts of the world. Each country and culture has its own way of expressing their joy through DANCE. For me dancing is the expression of one's joy, peace and integrity. You have chosen the right channel, "THE DANCE".
Congratulations...! You have a lot to offer to this world. I wish and pray that you will be one of the world's top role models in a short future.
I wish God's blessings for you and your family and to your "Nirthalaya Academy".
Love and Prayers,

Namaste Dear & Blessed Nirthalaya Academy team,
It was s good time we had at Peace day celebration. I want to thank Christina, Jess, Annamma, Oommachan and all of our dancers and their parents for helping International Gurukula Community event on September 21st 2010 at Taste of India, Bergenfield, NJ, USA. I came from few dance schools from Tripunithura, Cochin. My masters were Sri. A K Shivram and Sri. Shado Gopinadhan Master. I always did dance for university and national camps since the age of five and got so many awards. So I will really enjoy to see our children's dances. May God bless each of you! We will inform you all about future events. Please come and celebrate with us.
Love & Light

Dear Christina;
The performance of the students of your school was superb at WMC2010. We find the steady and fast growth of your school in performance and the appreciation it gets from the public. Congratulation! Keep it up.
Please convey our sincere thanks to the parents of every child for taking the pain and strain to accompany them to Edison for participating the history making event of the World Malayalee Council that is now steered into a new direction to strengthen the Pravasi Malayalee community.

I had so much fun at the WMC. I think everyone did gr8! I just wish that the stage was a little bigger so everyone would fit for the finale. Other than that it was wonderful. The pictures are wonderful. I can't believe you even had photos from 2/7/09. That was really long ago when there was only me,Mekha,Christa,Diana,Sarah,Sharon , and Christine. I can't wait to learn a new dance. BYE!!!

Christina! We go way back to our childhood dancing days and I am so glad to have kept in touch with you through the years. You were always a talented and graceful dancer, so it doesn't surprise me much that you have your own dance school now and what an accomplishment that is so congratulations! Thank you for choreographing a dance for me recently, it came out great and the audience really enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun at practice and it was nice to hang out with you for a bit. Best wishes in all your future endeavors and hope to keep in touch!

Dear Christina,
I must admit you are a wonderful teacher along with being so beautiful. I say this because, I who had never ever danced in my life was able to perform before an audience thanks to your faith in me. Of course practice did count! Everyone who saw the dance appreciated it. Thank you for taking the time off your busy schedule to be there at the time of the performance, it definitely gave all of us especially me the moral support we needed.
May God help you reach new heights in your contribution to Indian classical dance both in North America and the world over! You are definitely doing your part in keeping the culture alive!
Best wishes,

Dear Christina,
Congratulations on your new dance school and website. I know it will be a great success because when you taught the children of Kerala Center one of your dances, it was very entertaining and unique. The megadance they performed showed your wide range of dance skills and knowledge. The children had a great time learning from you, and many parents were impressed by the performance. Good luck with the Nirthalaya Academy.
