I was always fascinated by the Indian classical dance forms and the rich cultural repertoire.

The face of “commercial dance” is constantly evolving. Trends keep changing all the time.

When we think of a perfect body type it’s impossible to discount the lithe frame of a dancer. There’s nothing quite as fluid, flexible and graceful as a dancer’s body.

Before you sign up for any dance lessons, know which one is the right sort of workout for you.

Perfect rhythm, supple body and agile limbs surely make for a good dancer, but on-stage, a dancer’s overall makeup and eyes are also appealing. They say that eyes are the windows to one’s soul.

I have been in the field of dance since the age of thirteen and have spent most of my life either, studying, performing, teaching, choreographing or helping dancers.

Flawless skin and clear complexion is what every dancer dreams about. A dancer’s face and body is constantly on display and under bright lights on the dance floor and stage.

One of the most important aspects of dancing is to learn how to deal with stage fright. To be relaxed, calm and confident is very important for a dancer. Most of the international celebrities whom I’ve taught dance; have had to deal with “backstage jitters” just before a performance. Madonna, Shakira, Beyonce and even Kenny G too share the same fear. My student actress Kajol once told me due to stage fright she could never do live performances. It is natural for any dancer to feel nervous right before going on stage. Often this nervousness can hinder a dancer’s performance.

One doesn’t really know what nirvana exactly means. But from my experiences I’ve come to accept nirvana as a means of attaining perfect bliss.

It’s heartening to see friends keep in touch and keep a track of your achievements. Their wishes and most importantly their appreciation means a lot to me.
