The tiny tots of the city are enjoying Dandiya Raas this Navratri with a lot of enthusiasm. A Dandiya training workshop was organised by Jawahar Bal Bhavan, Bhopal, for the children to learn and enjoy Dandiya.
The training began from September 18. The students who learned the fun steps of dandiya presented their show at Central Hall, Jawahar Bal Bhavan. While talking to The Pioneer, in-charge at Jawahar Bal Bhavan Tripti Tripathi said, “We organise this event every year so that children could also learn about different festivals of the country. We endeavour to provide children with best knowledge of traditional dance, music and other forms of activities through organising training programmes and workshops.”
Around 30 children participated in the four-day dandiya training and were trained by dance instructor Sanghmitra Taiwade. She taught children different dance steps of dandiya and garba on traditional garba songs. They learned Krishna leela, Holi and other forms.
Here on Monday, children performed on songs like ‘Tara Bin Shyam’, ‘Garba Mein Dhoom Machi’, ‘Chaalo Babu Bishna’ and ‘Pankhira O Pankhira’ leaving the audience mesmerised. The children from age group of 5-16 years performed on stage with lot of energy and zeal. The assistant director of Jawahar Bal Bhavan Sajan Singh was also present on the event to encourage the children.
The audience were enthralled with the performance of the children and were awestruck to watch the tiny tots presenting such a wonderful programme before them. The atmosphere really was electrifying and everybody present there were in a different world of their own. And it was hard for them to measure the performance of the kids, performing live on the stage. They were really inspiration generating kids. The energy of students added more life in the performance. The parents of the children and other audiences took pleasure to enjoy the show with ecstasy.
