“ Dance is a pleasant way of recreation. Even if it’s physically demanding, it still refreshes my mind. I appreciate the combination of movement with the various emotional expressions (Abhinaya). In the lessons with my teacher Vijaya Rao, I learnt a lot about Indian mythology. She’s a perfectionist and through her training I become more perfect day by day.“ “
