"Many people have said many things. I can only say I did not consciously go after dance. It found me."
- Rukmini Devi Arundale
There are not many moments in life when opportunities knock at your door. This I have discovered. But when they do, I should say embrace them and not let them go. About three years back, as an educator teaching history for nearly 11 years in a private school in Delhi, I believed that my relationship with my students was merely based on content transaction. Today I have completely changed this view, and that happened when dance found me.
Being a student of history, I attach a huge importance to the origin of everything. The past appeals to me much more than the present. And this has helped me immensely in understanding dance.

ReplyDelete' To dance, is to be out of yourself, larger, more beautiful, more powerful. [...] it is glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.'
I am glad to find the hidden language of dance in your writing. Madhumanti Sengupta (Ma)
Dance is a universal form of expression and connection. It's been around for centuries and has evolved into an art form that people can see in every corner of the world. I also like to continue my passion with Geethalayam Bharatanatyam.
