“It’s not about the steps or the routine that we follow but our heart and soul should be in sync with the music, not the music that’s playing on the outside but the one playing within you.”
Dance, for me, has always been about far more than the steps or the routine — it is about synchronising your heart and soul with the music playing within you. Every performance, every workshop, every class has added a new layer of understanding to that belief.
Being part of Twist N Turns felt like a natural home for that philosophy. Training under legendary choreographers and sharing that learning with students in Kolkata has been both humbling and deeply fulfilling. This journey is ongoing, and every day brings a new lesson.
