Bollywood for Fun

Deepali is our newest member, having arrived in Ottawa in January, finding us and agreeing to meet us and join us in the fun!

We’re really looking forward to showcasing the first choreography she has created for us on April 2!  And then on to more  and more fun!

A bit more about Deepali:

I have been dancing since I was just 3 years old. I started off dancing to the tunes of my mother, and by 10 when I got beyond her control…my father took over and gave me the tune to dance to. Around 15, I was dancing to the tune of my teachers at school… and so on. But all this while I continued dancing to the tunes of Shiamak Davar. I am glad, I have been able to preserve a few things that I have cherished as a kid (including my old torn blue jeans), one being: my passion for dance.

I don’t want to sound too self obsessed, and I swear I didn’t make this up. Once a girl actually came up to me and said “Ma’am you are the goddess of dance”. I wanted to go back in the past and record her sentence, make a small tape or something out of it, which I can hang around my neck all the time. And also put up the pictures of all the prizes I have bagged with the comments of each and every jury member. (And yet I don’t have an ego

Jokes apart, I have been dancing for as long back as my memory takes me. After being trained in many dance forms, performing all over India, winning as many awards, I am here to spread the joy to as many dance lovers I possibly could. The vibrantly energetic, passionate and a motivated dancer in me never lets the desire, to distribute this bliss to all the dance lovers, die.

Here’s a short list of dance forms I am well versed with : Indo Jazz, Indian Contemporary, Hip Hop, Salsa, and Bollywood.

You have to experience it to believe it, what fun can dance bring to your lives
