I know it's been long that I haven't written anything except for some poetry because I have been really busy with my first job :) It's a great start and a good place to learn.
Now let's focus on this post which is about some inspiring kids I met a few months ago. During my internship with Hindustan Times, I got the chance to visit a Government school in Noida's Aghapur village. I was actually amazed to see their talent, spirit and enthusiasm.
They are crazy about dance and have amazing stories to share. Even though they have no dance teacher but this has not stopped them from dreaming or dancing like their favourite Bollywood stars.
They sure want a teacher who can teach them different dance forms and the techniques required to make them better dancers. They want someone who can transform their lives, not making them rich or famous but boosting their morale and confidence and be a mentor to them. They want to participate in dance shows like Dance India Dance and Chak Dhoom Dhoom to make their parents, who are mostly labourers, domestic helps, drivers, etc., proud. They want to equip themselves with the right skills to achieve their dreams which will only happen when they have someone to guide them.
Unfortunately, they are still managing without one as no one wants to work for a low wage or in a village. Thanks to the reality shows! At least they are keeping their faith and dreams alive. Instead of giving up, they are trying to learn dance steps from these dance shows, though they can't understand all the technical stuff but they are giving these kids a reason to keep dancing and the way they want to.
I'm sure Hrithik Roshan's new dance show- Just Dance means a lot to them. Firstly, it involves Hrithik Roshan, an inspiration for so many of them. Secondly, it gives them the hope that such platforms are there to give wings to their dreams and aspirations.
I wish I knew some dance form, I would have loved to teach them on Saturdays!
If anyone reading my post is interested in helping them then you are most welcome to do so! You can just leave a message here. I really want them to get a mentor as they are really passionate about dance and just like you and me they have the right and freedom to dream about anything and whatever they want to. So what if they study in a village and a school with few opportunities, but they are a part of our country's future. :)
Hope for the best.
