Back from Surat after conducting a Dance workshop

Gujarat Knowledge Consortium and Veer Narmad University of South Gujarat organized a students training programme called"Saptatara" . This is the 4th year and due to my Guru Rema Shrikant , I got an opportunity to conduct a 3 day workshop wherein I taught them a padam and a Mallari.

Surat , the city which boasts of an immense variety as a cuisine city , is slowly warming up to the idea of having Performing Arts Colleges. Theatre which is a big craze in Surat has given actors like Paresh Rawal. Dance is still searching for an identity beyond "arangetrams".

An interesting experience for me to learn about people of Surat and its culture. Thanks to my Host Manali for making my stay comfortable .
