Dance for the Corporates

The most popular dance form in the classes I teach is ‘freestyle dancing on thumping music’.

Students just love it! Especially when its Bollywood music. ‘Pure joy’ are the two words I can use to describe what I see.

Its amazing, how the right kind of music can create such a feeling of abandonment and happiness. Total release of stress. Its like, for the time you are in the class, you forget everything and surrender yourself to the music , swaying to the rhythm of the beats and finding your own.

It’s a known scientific fact, that sound vibrations affect humans. Negative sounds have known to cause physical discomfort, and pleasant sounds, relax, soothe the body and mind; and others invigorate and stimulate.

In ancient times, there were dances for every season and every reason. Tribes would collect and gather and celebrate together with dance and music.

Ancient rituals to uplift the mood of the people, recreation, bonding, showcase physical prowess, networking and a esteem builder. Group dances were all about maintaining unity within the tribe, merging energies for the common good of the tribe.

Group dancing is a great exercise in stress busting and team building. It helps to reduce the harmful effects of cortisol (harmful stress hormone) and also relieves the body of lactic acid build up caused by muscle stiffness and tightness, long hours of sitting, extended traveling etc.

It releases endorphins (feel good hormones) and promotes a feeling of well being.

One looks forward to the day ahead, and brings about a fresh perspective to things, thereby promotes efficiency. You have to try it, to believe it! Its so much fun.

Its Marathon time! Run Mumbai Run!

With the Standard Chartered Marathon nearing, Mumbai is gearing up for this annual feat.

Every year its gets bigger and better.

The marathon attracts people from all strata, from the corporate yuppie to the neighborhood  dabbawala, some running for a cause and others for the thrill of it all.

The dream run of 6km, is like a event by itself, people from all walks of life, in unison, in costumes, with banners, shouting slogans, promoting various charities, school children, you name it and they are there.

It’s a must experience, I guarantee it.

I have been training a few students for the marathon these last few years, for the 21k. And they have done me proud. Not only have they finished it on time, but their timing keeps getting better every year.

I couldn’t emphasis more, the importance of a disciplined routine, constituting, regular practice, sleep and nutrition, the rest as they say is inevitable.

Ready, get set, GO!
