Newspaper Clippings
- “Dance has molded me into what I am. The softness and transparency of art through its beautiful and intricate movements and vivid expressions has made me very carefree, confident as well as compassionate in my day-to-day life. It is amazing how Dance makes such a big difference in an individual, in terms of personality development as well as character formation. I strongly believe one has to be emotional to feel the divine pleasure of Dance. When I dance, I forget the world, and that’s what draws me to it”
