I am a curious person, once I get the interest in anything I will keep chasing until the time I conquer it completely. So this is the story of my dance life.
Looking back, I realise that every style I explored — from Kathak to contemporary to jazz — added a new layer to who I am as a dancer. The discipline of classical training gave me the foundation, while contemporary and ballet taught me how to break rules beautifully.
Dance is still teaching me every day, and that is the most exciting part of all. Each session is a new challenge, a new discovery — and the ride keeps going higher.
I got introduced to dance by my grandfather at a very young age, doing Kathak. I kept on learning and exploring. The more I explored, the more level of interest got increased, and later that interest turned into a passion and now my life.
Dance chose me, so I decided and said to myself that, “Yes! This is what I am going to do for the rest of my life.. Since then I started practicing and joined a dance school where I learned contemporary, ballet and jazz for almost 4 years. And, this whole journey of dance for me is a rollercoaster ride, which always goes higher and higher.
