SPS-Aspire programme of Sagar Public School integrates students with experts, celebrities, speakers, achievers to connect young minds and add avenues for exploration.
Under the aegis of SPS Aspire Programme an interactive session by Padam Shri and Padma Bhushan Uma Sharma, renowned Kathak Dancer was organised in which 600 students of school participated. Uma Sharma visited school from the Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Amongst Youth (SPIC MACAY) to share holistic experiences and mysticism embodied with meaningful highlights in Indian Heritage.
Sharma in her interaction with Sagarites guided on use of expressions to express themselves using face, hands etc to converse creatively to gain confidence. She connected with Sagarites by narrating a small story and linked it with Katha’s narrated at Ayodhya to describe the origin of ‘Kathak’. She also shared various forms of Kathak -“Tora, Tukda, Bada” with the students and communicated mythological stories of Shurpanakha, Maarich Mrig and ‘Krishna Kaalia Naag Makar Yudh’ epic with help of her ensemble dancers and musicians.
Encouraging Sagarites, she highlighted the importance of purity of our culture and connected Sagarites with ‘Mudras’ of rain, blossoming flowers, playing ball etc as expressions to converse. She said,” Expressions bring in creativity and clarity which help in to choosing goals. Keep continuing to express creatively to have a clear goal in life.”
Principal Pankaj Sharma presented a memento to Uma Sharma and expressed her gratitude in guiding students.
