Dance for yourself. If someone understands, good. If not, no matter

I began dancing and training in Bharatnatyam when I was almost six years old. I didn’t complete it because of my father’s job transfer, which moved us from one city to another. It has been on my mind since 2010 to go back to school. But I was unable to do so again because of all the typical “ABHI padh lo, BAAD ME LIFE SET” ideologies. During the lockdown, I had the option of taking online classes at convenient times and finally got back to learning Bharatanatyam! 🙂
Getting up at 6:00 am was something I enjoyed. Having a brilliant teacher made it even more enjoyable!
Since everything was starting up again, I had to leave between classes once again. Here’s hoping I can resume it someday.
