In today’s age and time when marketing of a product holds more importance then the product itself, then how can the field of dance be far behind?

I happened to meet a well-known dancer recently who has been keeping ill health for a while. I went to meet her at her house and got to know that she is sleep deprived and lack of sleep is the reason that she is not able to dance for a few years now.

Over the years, several western dance styles have gained lot of popularity in India. Due to this boom, dance studios have also mushroomed all over India in many metros.

The heat is upon us, and you don’t need to be told that there are humid days ahead. As a dancer you should to stay cool during the summer time as this is the time when most of the shows and events happen. This is the holiday season, too, as most event companies and corporate shows like to do various dance events to attract more crowd.

Recently one of my students came up to me and said that she would be taking a year’s break from dancing as she had to prepare for her board exams.

Recently one of my students came up to me and said that she would be taking a year’s break from dancing as she had to prepare for her board exams. I was quite surprised to hear it since I remember never taking a break to “prepare” for exams.

I recently caught up with a friend from Germany who is a professional dancer there. We spoke and almost relived some of the wonderful old times we had during our dance training back in Germany. I remember when we were studying dance, he was the fittest and the hottest dance in our dance college and all the dancers would admire his fit and toned body.

It is difficult to keep up with the ever-increasing competition as a dancer in today’s world.

Dancers often hear praises for their art and there are times when they are criticised too. What works for you might not work for someone else. A dancer has to face all kinds of comments not just about work, but even about their personal lives, body, lifestyle, etc.

The world of dance is highly competitive; there are thousands of young dancers that come to cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and many others dance promoting cities. I have met so many such talented dancers who have moved with their baggage just to follow their dream and passion for dance.
