Later on she also went to Laban Dance Center in London for workshop. At that time she was practicing several dance styles as: Classical, jazz, contemporary, and funky.

In year 2006 Gauri discovered Indian classical dance Kathak. She was immediately captivated by this rhythmic, express full and devotional art form. The complexity and cultural bound of the dance brought her immediately to India. She specialized and devoted herself in this dance style to perform and to be able to create her own creations along with contemporary and aerial acrobatic skills.

Gauri is trained by her Guruji Pandit Ravi Shankar Mishra from Benares.
