Dance, Dance

I don't know when it all started, my relentless love of dance. Perhaps two years back, when my children stared studying classical dance in a Chennai school. (Chennai has a large number of such schools and academies-Know more).

Till that time my world was confined to listening music, cooking, a bit reading and of course office, which according to me is a means of livelihood.

Now, at times I go with my children to their school to watch the children perform. The school functions in a house in the midst of a housing colony. Many foreign students are also studying here. All of them are residing in rented portions of houses in the locality. The upper floor of the house is a hall sufficiently large to teach the children conveniently.

I cuddle up in one corner of the hall as the children study, wrapping myself up in the mystic glory of 'Karnatic' chanting and the rhythmic sound of their 'Noopur' (anklet). The teachers of this school are all well known artists and their monthly fees is quite affordable. That is why we opted for this school.
