Priyanka's Online Bollywood Dance Lessons Nobody's Watching

- Mental Health
In this episode I’m joined by Priyanka, whose lockdown project was to teach Bollywood dancing online every Sunday morning. Priyanka is a finance manager by day and an incredibly talented choreographer and dancer when she’s not wearing her finance hat. I was absolutely blown away when I found out just how much experience she has in dancing. She performed on stage as a child, touring with a talent show, run by famous Bollywood music director duo Padmashree Kalyanji and Anandji Uncle. In this episode we talk about how dance positively impacted her confidence, her resilience and her time management. We dive deep into what it was like growing up with these incredibly ambitious dance goals to balance on the side of school. And if you don’t know much about Indian dancing, you’ll learn today because she gives us an overview. Here was our conversation.
PS if you don’t know what BTech dance is, neither did I! It's basically an equivalent of a dance A level, with different modules like Contemporary, Choreography, Tap and more
Here is the video she references in the episode with the dance moves of a parent cradling a baby
And here are two other videos to give you a flavour of her beautiful dancing
