9-year-old Shabbo who has always been loving dancing. She wanted to learn some sort of dance form and perform somewhere in front of an audience. Her dream came true when she got to learn from the Soni brothers and now can not just dance but is ready to give a fantastic Garba performance. "I enjoyed learning Garba. I only knew a little about it, but Jigar sir has taught me so much. I want to learn more," she said.
Jigar Soni, mentor and founder of SSGD said that kids are always quick learners. "Be it any dance form, kids always absorb steps quickly. I was surprised to see these students at St Catherine's, that with little or no knowledge about this dance form, they learnt Garba steps so fast. I am proud of all of them with the kind of dedication they have shown towards learning," he said.
Suhrad Soni, the co-founder and mentor of SSGD said that teaching kids is the most special thing for them especially for World Dance Day. "The amount of love we have gotten from these children is overwhelming. These kids have made World Dance Day special not just for them but for us as well as we look forward to their performance," he shared.
