Ghungroo Stories

As Martha Graham, a legendary American dancer and choreographer, once said, 'Dance is the hidden language of the soul.' Natyashastra became the fifth Veda, as art is the easiest medium of self-expression. Today, dance demands skill, practice, and perfection. However, in this ongoing trend of becoming the best dancer and monetizing art, we tend to forget our true relationship with dance. Little children, before going to their dance lessons, wiggle their bodies and sway to music in joy. The elderly, with toothy grins, twist and turn their hips when they hear a song from their time. Even adults in this fast-paced world engage in some 3 a.m. moves without mastering professional techniques. But why? Because dance brings joy. It celebrates the movement of the universe, the world, and this body. As a dancer, this journal is a love letter to dance. May you happily twirl around and shed all other inhibitions the next time you hear music and want to break a leg. Dance has been for everyone since time immemorial and shall continue to be the same forever.
