My dance..... though its not jus a single post bloggin experience... U d surely see me off and on with this Dance thing.... am a Bharatnatyam dancer.... where it all began....heres the fun...
My Mum and aunt would have a better answer,.... But the whole fun of where it started is at my age of 7.... born in a cultured hindu family wat else would u expect...."Ponnuku paada theriyanam, Aada theriyunum, kalai ellam therinjukanam"(for the benefit of who din understand..."a girl in our families should know how ta sing, ta dance and should have knowledge of art forms")
O My Gosh... U should see the amount of preparation behind it... Vijayadasami, Vethala paaku, Guru dakshanai and wat not... its all one super cool experience at that small age when there is hell lotta activity happenin around u and for u... U r the Heroine.... So cute.... Anyway all fun apart... it jus started there.... and i was put in a dance school....
it jus started like one regular routine... did it interest me or not... i have no no clue ever.... i jus used ta go and come... and my dad, the best dad the world can see.... i dunno if i had the sincerity... he surely had it... would drop me pick me up on time...not only classes anywhre for that matter... it continues even now.... jus love my dad for that....
Time for Arangetram, as they call it... its the first stage experience for a dancer.... when i was in my 9 th grade.... but sadly i couldn make it up... cause i was wearin stupid braces.... hate them.... it delayed my life by 4 yrs....
11 th and 12 th grade i started sayin i gotta study, dance class venaaa and all that crap... the usual shit from people of my age.... and i left dance even after all the cries of mum dad paati aunty everyone.... such a crap i was.....
And again my dad and mum come in to the picture.... where when i joint college he persuaded me i continue.... and i started off... a new life and a new experience... i started lovin dance more than anythin in this world... my arangetram happened.... its yet another story which needs a separate post.... will surely tell ya guys.... my mum and paatis prayers paid.....
Dance has become my kinda way of life... it was not jus that i wanted ta dance... the emotions... the clarity in mind all this comes with dance... its like i vent everythin out.... the saddest moods i go ta dance class i come out cheerful.... it made me learn how ta control emotions love, happiness, sadness, anger, anxiety............................. list jus goes on....
and now here i stand as a performer, a dancer.... and i feel dance has done more to my life than all my education and other junk did....
Thanks Dad, Thanks Mum and all my motivation factors around me.... they still cheer me in each and every program of mine... criticise me.... everythin..."i still transform mum and i am still improvin... will make ur wish" is wat i say ta myself before every rehersal......
cheers
