Move to free the Soul & fill the Heart....: O man! OMAN :) summer of 2008!

..ummmm...

Peace.Joy.Love.Laughter.Inspiration.Growth.Faith.Patience.Perseverance.Acceptance: All can easily be rolled into one to be the person i am, or more aptly,the person i seek to be. i have been a dancer all my life ,and dance is really what i believe i do best, even though there still are "miles to go"!! to move, create, inspire, share, build and grow together , through the vehicle of Dance is what i perceive to be my "calling" in Life. and there i find not only the pursuit of my dreams and my happiness, but also God's blessing, in its purest form .. God, Parents, Family, & F.R.I.E.N.D.S (!) blend into my system of "jewels" of Life. apart from them, i've been lucky enough to have had some incredibly inspiring teachers as "influences" : Jacquie Bird, Soraya Franco, Robin Merchant, Ashley Lobo to name a few .. Luam is yet another choreographer that deserves special mention.. as she has been one of the Hugest Sources of Inspiration to me(online only though)!!! JAZZ funk/lyrical and contemporary are areas of interest to me and what i work in :) its interesting to note how one is capable of tapping into one's various shades as a dancer, like an artist that dips into his palate for different colors: Spunk that screams out loud in a Funk piece; Profundity that comes through in contemporary,Discipline and Finesse in a Ballet piece , while sex appeal in Salsa, for instance.... is what intrigues me the most about these various forms , yet a commonality amongst them : a Passion to Express ......... Peace.

As i take you through this little blog, i hope you vicariously enjoy my journey as a dance artist! it has been one of immense joy and hard work, inspiration and growth, and a sense of being committed to my purpose... Gifts that I today seek to impart to as many as possible through this God-given vehicle of Dance !!!

Cheer$ !!

P.S: there is a lot more "detailing" that needs to be done.. Please (pretty please!) bear with me as i try and put this blog together!!! okay.. enjoy :)

Also, pardon me for the complete lack of chronology (the series of events per year) , but then Thats what I call "OrganiZed ChaoS" !!

O man! OMAN :) summer of 2008!

~ alright! I'm going to be sharing bits n pieces (literally!) from our MUSCAT(which is in OMAN , just in case you're geographically challenged like me.. No kidding!!) trip, 2008! We were part of a theatrical production called "Salaam India", directed by Lushin Dubey.As dancers, we performed our pieces throughout the play... with temperatures rising every now and then...eventually exploding into mad fits of laughter, it was quite an experience! (needless to mention shopping sprees at the malls , and an enlightening visit to the "Souk"!! and Of Course!!! the simplicity of the pristine beaches that posed a striking contrast to the formidable vehicles on the loose!! Did I ever see a car that was NOT a BMW?! "I don't think so!!"!!! LOL

AND OH!! if you're still wondering, the food picture is basically a glimpse of the delicacies we drooled on!

enough said.... Black Eyed Peas couldn't have been more accurate in sayin' , "Let's Get It Started" :D
