All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players
William Shakespeare
Have you ever thought why is the World compared to a stage and not a school or a journey??
Well because it’s the STAGE that gives you freedom to be different from others.. its the STAGE that helps you show your skills and imagination which can amuse others… its the STAGE that gives you the liberty to show your emotions and craft your own story..
Being a dancer makes me love the STAGE more because that is where I can share my story.. that is where I believe that people will hear me out, will understand me and will share my emotions.
For a long long time, dancers have been looked upon like entertainers. In India the origin of Classical dance form was to impress our Kings. But eventually people realized that there is a story behind each dance, its not just a means to muse someone but its also a way to understand the cause behind it. Now when we are in the 21st century, we have means to learn not just Indian classical forms but also international dance forms.. Dance connects each one of us to a cause which defines our movements and intent..
While Covid shook the entire World, there was one common platform that brought everybody together, and that was Dance.. Amidst the pandemic if there was a ray of hope for happiness and connectivity, it was the online dance classes where we could learn new choreography, meet new people, interact with various age groups and be secure at home..
DANCE is not just a talent, its like a therapy to those who feel disconnected to their surroundings, its like a lover that spreads joy to our soul, its like a friend which can handle all our emotions, its like a magic which connects us to our universe with a language of our own..
We don’t have to go to a studio or learn dance professionally to understand the roots.. we just need to play along with our imagination to define an intent…
Gazing at the traffic signal, I realized how dance is connected to simple things from our daily lives…
Red asks me to stop, and admire the movement of others.
Yellow asks me to be prepared by warming up and finally
Green means to just go with the flow
That’s how relatable dance is in real life. It’s like being adaptable just like the breeze flowing from your face to your hair when you are traveling in a car, it’s like being as light as a dew drop which follows gravity, yet being subtle and smooth. It’s like the fire which extends our emotions to the audience.
In a world full of dancers, there will never be pain, no discrimination, no hatred, no tears but just positive energy passing from one soul to other..
So why not let yourself out without having the fear of being misunderstood, without having the fear of being told what to do, without having to just follow, But to lead. Trust your body and the music within to explore what we all know as DANCING..
A fire within us thriving to release
A hope deep inside trying to revive
An happiness to spread, A grief to share
A world of imagination to transpire
Tiny steps a baby takes
Fierce movement of water that breaks
Gallops of a winning horse
Breeze that can tear you apart
A story that explains it all
Takes your soul to an imaginary world
connects you to a cause that’s real
Please spare some time and heart to hear
For a long time I was chained
I tried t youo break it with power and fame
but then I realized that I can be free
only if you want me to be
I'm that child deep within
who danced to a tune unknown
expressed it with movements of its own
was happy to be in a dream zone
Release it now and lets be free
I'm standing with you as your tree
I can give you wings to fly with me
Lets DANCE TO A MELODY..
Lets DANCE TO A MELODY..
