It was a fifteen day dance workshop
organized by the best choreographer of our city along with his team and I was
one from the crew. In this workshop we had different batches for different age
groups and also batches divided like in beginners, toddlers, advanced, and ball
room dance. In these batches we were supposed to teach different forms of dance
to the people who had enrolled for the workshop. Before the workshop had commenced
we had decided on what songs to teach and also set the routines beforehand. We allotted
the batches within the group members and I had got a toddlers and one advanced
batch to look after. I had a lot of responsibility on myself as i had to make
the routines thought perfect and also be perfect myself.
After the fifteen day energy filled
and tiring workshop we were all set to rock the stage with the dance
performances we had made and allotted to different batches. These fifteen days
were the most exciting fifteen days I have ever experienced. In these fifteen
days we had practiced putting in all our efforts into it to make the final show
a big hit. We had set routines on 13 of the most loved tracks in India. It was
really difficult to teach to people who had never danced ever before and was a
very risky task to take these people on to the stage.
Amongst the 13 song I had performed
in 8 of the dance performances. It was really hectic at times when 3 to 4
performances used to come in one row. I had to exit the stage then change into
the other performance’s costume and enter the stage again within no time, and
even I had to keep my energy level high and had to make sure I do not let my energy
fall loose on the stage. Also I had a duty to look after the toddler’s batch i
had got. I had to assemble them on the stage for the performance. Also as the
kids were too small to perform all by themselves, I had to be in the front to prompt
the steps to the kids so that they don’t forget them on the stage. With all
these responsibilities i had to look after my performances too. i would thank my mentor Mr. Pavan Mangoli to make me so capable that i could take on this workshop and also to give me this opportunity at this age.
