Shall We Dance ?

“Just imagine gliding across a hall with twenty people watching you. If you are not used to the stage,it is most likely that you get a nerve attack. But then under the supervision of a therapist,when you finally do that,and do it several times,you overcome hesitation and you know how to face people,” says Tripura Kashyap,Delhi-based dancer and therapist. Kashyap has a steadily growing corporate clientele,mostly non-dancers at that. “There have been times people stopped midway,felt scared. My job is to make them overcame that fear of scrutiny,” says Kashyap.

Dancer Priti Patel is yet to formally start corporate grooming classes,but has helped several corporate professionals groom themselves through dance. “I have a media professional who comes to do movement therapy before she goes for work every alternate day. She says that the therapy helps her brace for the challenges of her work,” says Patel. Dance being a very posture specific form of art,it teaches professionals to hold their body in a way that exudes confidence. “It also is about expressions,so it teaches you to make eye contact in a way which tells the world that you know what you are talking about,” adds Patel.

Apart from being a stress busting exercise,dance helps you trust people. “There are several trust building exercises,where you lean on another person who holds you up. It helps you build relationships too,not to forget that it helps you improvise with communication,” says Dilshad. Priti Savdekar joined Dilshad’s classes to heal a back problem. “But when I came out of it,I realized I could communicate better with people. And I was more confident about making my point,” she says.
