Dance - Add your own Grace

Everybody knows to dance, or rather everyone wants groove to music. So can everyone dance? Well that depends on what do you term as dance. Standing in a party and swaying to the music is it dance? Moving your hips with hands in pocket, is that dance? This is just moving with the music. Then doing hand and legs movement in sync, is that dance? That can be termed as aerobics which we used to do in school during our PT sessions.

Then what’s dance? If only body movements could be termed as dance then we wouldn’t have some people known for dancing. Like we have Sudha Chandran, Hema Malini both are famous classical dancers. Shiamk Davar, who is famous for international dance style like Contemporary, Salsa, etc. We have various people who introduced various dance forms in Indian cinema. There is Mithun Chakravarty, who introduced disco style with disco dancer, Govinda who introduced break dance with street dancer.

Why are all these people known for their dance style? It’s not only because of the moves but it’s because of the Grace they add to their moves. Whenever you learn a dance form, you add to it your own grace, which becomes your style.

Whenever Anand choreographs a song, the steps he uses it depends on the crowd. The thought he carries, is always whether the crowd can follow him. He thinks about the complexity and if people would be able to it. Also, whenever he teaches, he always states “don’t just follow the steps add your own grace to it. It’s your body language that will make the dance graceful.”

 That’s the teacher in him but when he dances; he looks at improving his skills by pushing himself to the next level. Like we have been saying, he stands out in the crowd with his charm and grace. He is charming normally as well, but he is graceful when he dances.

So, we say Grace + Dance = Anand, now that’s a deadly combination. What say?
