A dance break is good enough to refresh
It is a well-established fact that India is going to be the next superpower. It is among the most developing nations in the world. India has everything going for her, right from excellent opportunities, good infrastructure, good quality education, to diverse culture and hospitable people.
And what works is the Indian spirit to do greater things in life.
I have been in India for more than a decade now, and I have seen the dance scene grow and change manifolds. India was already known as the centre for traditional art forms, but now it is an emerging centre for other dance forms as well.
A few years ago dancing in pairs with an unknown partner was not too common in India, until the Salsa culture trickled into the city and changed the mindset of the people. Today, dance is a way of life in India and through dance, people have found ways to make friends, build bonds and relationships. Now Indians do not need coffee breaks or cigarette breaks any more, just a simple dance break is good enough to refresh, stay fit, make friends and have a great time.
Move over Salsa, it’s all about having fun and enjoying dance. Thanks to dance reality shows like Jhalak Dikhla Ja, Nach Baliye, Dance India Dance and So You Think You Can Dance, India too wants to experiment newer forms of dances.
I have been taking International Latin and Ballroom Dance classes in India for almost nine years now and people have taken to these dance forms extremely well in the last nine years. It gives me immense pleasure to know that the city and its people are thinking beyond the obvious and opt for different dance forms.
Now that all dancer lovers are looking forward to hitting the dance floor with newer and more challenging dance forms, my little advice to dance enthusiasts is to follow some “unwritten” rules of dance floor etiquette in the table below.
