The classical dance workshop that started at Jawahar Bal Bhawan on April 15, concluded with a lot of fervor here on Wednesday. On the concluding day of the workshop, the students learnt the ‘Durga Stuti’.
The three-day workshop was much enjoyed by the students. The students on the concluding day learnt about ‘Durga Stuti’. According to the dance instructor, Sanghmitra Bankar, “This dance form is one of the difficult tasks as the body movements and expressions are the essence of this dance form.”
Dance instructor Sanghmitra Bankar told The Pioneer, “Dance and music gives pleasure to people. Essentially music creates a joyous atmosphere. People enjoy the moves and groves on the music beats. This workshop was basically organised for the music and dance lovers.” On the third day the students described the beauty of the goddess as well as her anger. It was a refined mixture of mudras with the facial expressions.
This workshop made them enjoy the classical dance in a different way as no particular form was expressed, rather the students learnt about different mudras of classical dance forms. She further said that dance is a way to keep the body active. The main motive of this dance workshop was to enhance different dance forms among children as well as the face and body expressions.
