I was born and raised in India for 14 years before I moved to the States during my sophomore year of high school. I had a beautiful childhood with wonderful friends and family and went to the same school from kindergarten, all the way up until freshman year. Now when I look back at my time in India, I am so grateful for my culture and heritage, which affect my artistic creations significantly. I also believe it provides me with a unique perspective on a lot of things as I lived there for so long.

During this program, I also obtained my certification as a professional by clearing the London exam with distinction and at the end of the year winning the award of "The Student of The Year".

Through my dance company, I performed at a lot of events and shows, some of which even included Bollywood film award shows with all the actors in the industry! As a 14 year old, dancing with these massive film stars gave me a lot of confidence and taught me a lot on how the award shows actually are taken place since this was particular one was a pre recorded one, there were barely any people in the audience, which made me realize that all the applause I would hear on TV was simply added into the production.

Discipline is a crucial component of an artist's work, as it allows them to consistently produce high-quality pieces and improve their skills over time. It involves setting goals, creating a schedule, and sticking to it, even when faced with obstacles or distractions. Without discipline, an artist may struggle to stay motivated and focused on their craft, resulting in inconsistent or subpar work. Additionally, discipline allows an artist to push through creative blocks and challenges, which can ultimately lead to growth and personal development.

Respect is an essential value for dancers and their work as it is crucial for maintaining a positive and productive working environment. Dancers rely on one another for support, guidance, and inspiration, and a lack of respect can lead to tension and conflict among members of a dance company or troupe. When dancers respect one another, they are able to collaborate effectively and create a sense of unity and cohesion that is necessary for creating high-quality performances. Additionally, When dancers show respect for their mentors and colleagues, they are more likely to receive positive feedback and constructive criticism that will help them improve their craft.

Collaboration also helps dancers develop important skills such as communication, problem solving and adaptability. Additionally, working with other artists can help dancers to grow and develop both creatively and professionally. In short, collaboration is vital for the growth and development of dance artists, both individually and as community as a whole.
