So so beautiful, as someone who's only done kuchipudi I'll be starting bharatanatyam soon and I'm so nervous about its rigid aramandi, but reading this just opened a pandora's box of desires of wanting to try kathak and contemporary as well! And that audio clip was so engaging and it felt like I was in some art gallery and someone was reading the post out loud like a voice over! ❤️

As someone who has had the exact same trajectory, don’t let those desires float away! Indulge in them. I feel like the more styles you explore, the more you discover your own flavour as a dancer ❤️

Oh your work is beautiful! I had to include it because I couldn’t have done a better job of describing what it felt like during the first few sessions. Thanks so much for reading ❤️

Oh!!! What a gorgeous post as always, the growth you've shown has lessons everyone can learn from, let's all return to that childhood curiosity and set ourselves free! I particularly loved the audio clip paired with the descriptive paragraph that followed it, how immersive!!!!
