Hello there,
As usual, I went to Jawahar Lal Nehru Park in Sunder Nagar to enjoy the open air and soothing sunlight. A stage was prepared for several dance and singing performances. This was the inaugural function of the "Feet of Fire" (FOF) dance academy at Sunder Nagar on January 19, 2014.
Cold in the morning kept me in my room, but at noon the Sun was shining. I preferred to sit under the tent while I watched the performances. Two young boys were anchoring the show, Andy and Sare (possibly the stage names). I think they were successful in keeping the noon show interesting, and the crowd responded well.
"Swagtam," a welcome song, was performed by the visually handicapped girls from CRC S.Nagar. They came on the stage holding each other's hands. They performed well and were cheered by the crowd with applause.
The crowd consisted of people of all ages and all genders. Another major attraction of the function was Amit Bhatia(director of the FOF academy, S.Nagar), who appeared to me again a young boy. I am not a dancer, but I was happy to see someone of that young age to become the director of a dance academy, which I suppose will be successful after getting such a big inaugural attention.
Sam, Amit, and one other (Sorry! I forgot the name), Dance India Dance(DID) fame stars, performed several dances, and one of which caught my attention was on the song "Rama Re" from the Bollywood movie "Kante" by Sam.
Few dance steps and a short introduction on "Kathak" by Dinesh Gupta, who claimed to be the first postgraduate from Himachal Pradesh on Classical dance "Kathak", was also an eye-catching performance. I have no formal or informal education in dance. I feel that I am not the right person to comment much on the whole event, but now, as I came back and thoughts about the show just kept coming to mind, I felt an urge to write about it, because this was different from the regular shows.
This was an interesting show. I got refreshed, and somewhere inside, in a corner of my heart, I feel an urge to learn dancing. I wish all the best for the people who were part of this function and hope they will be successful in organizing more such functions. One more reason for writing this post is to compensate for the fact that I clapped very little while sitting there on the chair, so I hope this post does that job.
Thanks for visiting!
