It all began when two trainer brothers, Kanhai and Madhav, joined fitness instructor Abha Kathuria in bringing together seven like-footed people in South Delhi. Seeing the deteriorating health conditions and the impact of long working hours, they started their dance classes, and are now on the mission to propagate health-friendly styles. "Our lessons don't just teach people to dance, but also help them with their illnesses. It helps kids to improve their concentration levels and teenagers to get rid of cramps," reveals Madhav,u00a0 who specialises in various forms,u00a0 including jazz, funk and hip-hop.
The Academy's credentials include annual dance show choreography for top BPOs, MNCs and many schools. "Students, doctors, journalists, from four-year-olds to a 62-year-old -- the institute has helped in the overall growth of all," he beams with pride.u00a0
Trainers at 10!
Another advantage for learners here is that one gets the opportunity to be an instructor, no matter how young they are. Tanya Ghai, a 10-year-old dancer, stands testimony. "I had a passion for dancing since the beginning, and when I joined this school, my overall personality and confidence received a boost." She is also a part of the probation batch, which is training to be instructors. "I am glad that I'm the youngest contender.
We get good lessons from guest experts who come visiting from different shores, and then go through a rigorous test before being selected to be teachers. I failed it the first time, but can't help attempting once more. I was the assistant to an instructor for some time, too," she adds excitedly.
And so you know how strongly inspiration breathes here.
