MY EXPERIENCES AT GEETANJALI SHOOL OF DANCE By Kanika Chaudhri


Values are those things that really matter to each one of us, the ideas & beliefs we hold as special. Most of our values are learnt at home or at school or within our social peer group. I have learnt some of the best values thru my dance which I learn at The Geetanjali School of Dance & Performing Arts.

I learn most importantly the value of self discipline thru the timings & importance of being punctual & committed to my dance routines & classes.

The importance of rhythm, melody & co-ordinating ones movements with the entire team performing at the school imbibes a true sense of teamwork and application.

No Dance can be performed without hours of hard work, dedication & concentration and these are important values too that I have learnt.

The importance of sharing & caring is another important aspect of my learning process at the school with my teacher, Mrs. Sharmila Maitro.

We try and blend Indian culture & colourful heritage on Australian platforms be it at Darling Harbour for the Annual Holi Festival, Friendship Fairs at Sydney Olympic Park, or for a social cause to contribute for the betterment of our society.

I have been a student of the Geetanjali School of Dance for over three years now and it has become more of a way of life for me to be learning new dances, mixing with other girls & practicing & finally performing on the big day in front of an audience of wonderful people mainly to spread the rich Indian tradition which is so diverse & intriguing & enjoyable to watch.
