I’ve signed up to be a part of the Kahaani dance show for Kolkata GC and I’m very excited! Dancing in general is typically out of my comfort zone so I’m really pushing myself to perform on stage this year. I’m also happy that this opportunity is going to help me connect more with my culture since the dances are around Indian festivals, and the event is raising money for the NGO which is even better. I’ve completed one practice so far and it was interesting. I’m the only G12 in my smaller group within the Durga Pooja group yet so it’s definitely pushing me to interact with new people from different grades. We will be performing 4 songs total, with everyone in 2 of the 4. We started our first dances today, I’m in the group performing the song “Dholida” so it’s fun. I’m excited to see how the dance progresses and I’m hoping I will become more comfortable with performing in front of people by the time we actually perform in February.
