Just back from a 2 hour program, Winter Funk 2012, by Shiamak Daavar's Pune students and instructors at the Yashwantrao Chavan Auditorium. As usual, it was a fantastic show, over 2 dozen performances by students of all ages, social strata, sizes, and capabilities. What is amazing is how they manage to bring everyone on a common platform, giving every kid the opportunity to perform, irrespective of how "good" he is. Very clearly, you don't need to be pretty or slim or fit or rich or even talented - dance is a universal language that is accessible to all, and can be enjoyed by all - you just need the spirit! Shiamak also pulls in students who are differently-abled, and even kids from remand homes, giving them a wonderful opportunity to perform with everyone else.
I highly recommend Shiamak's dance classes for every kid. They cost a bit (not too much!), but the impact they can have on your child's development - especially in terms of growing confidence - is very impressive, and this is one investment you will never regret.
