Summary:
For this year’s International Dance Day, that’s being observed on Wednesday, artistes are adopting virtual means, bringing forth a new stage to showcase their skills and spread knowledge about their art form. While dancers say virtual medium may pale in comparison to the physical stage, it’s a platform they are ready to explore. For the International Dance Day, Nrityarutya is coming up with three workshops, scheduled from April 30 to May 6. What’s also prompting dancers to go online is the guru-shishya tradition, and the students’ eagerness to learn. Agrees Richard Tholoor, who has conducted over 32 free online salsa and bachta classes and has students across the globe..
