1) I am happy that I am studying how to do Bharatanatyam steps.

First, before starting to dance I didn't even know how to do a proper step but eventually, I started to feel a little pain here and there and sweating up myself because I was not able to cope up with the other students. But after 2 months I started feeling good and was able to cope up. So slow and steady always wins.

2) Even though I am not from a Dancing family, I was able to study and participate in different competitions and shout out my hidden talent and the main thing was that I was proud that I am a dancer.

3) In Bharatanatyam after the basics we must learn some items or 10 min dances. So, day by day when we were taught new steps I must remember each step, and this made me so annoyed but, in another way, it increased my memory levels and concentration levels.

4) I was not a fit person. I looked a little bit fat, but my body showed little changes as I did Bharatanatyam steps as these steps involve bending of knees stretching arms and legs and it was kind of an exercise that helped me tone my body.

5) I became more and more flexible. I had bendy, stretchy knees and legs which helped me a lot as a dancer. As a kid, everyone wants to be flexible and able to do splits and bridges etc. is one main thing and my key to success was doing Bharatanatyam adavus.

6) I became more creative... We must choreograph our own steps and dances creatively, so using what I have studied I did, so if I did the same thing in curricular and co-curricular activities which made me a little more creative.

These were the 6 things I got through my Bharatanatyam dance classes, it does not matter how hard we are working it's about the benefits we are going to get."

Thank you
