Yesterday, we became part of a World Record. 🥹❤️
But for us at Nrithyam, this was about so much more than a record, a medal or a certificate.❤️
We are women in our 20s, 30s and 40s.
We are engineers, healthcare professionals, teachers, HR professionals,home makers, IT professionals, students, entrepreneurs, mothers, wives, daughters and caregivers.
We juggle careers, children, studies, homes, families and a million little things every single day.
And somewhere amongst all of that, we make time to dance.❤️
Some of us are trained classical dancers who have carried Bharatanatyam with us for years. Some returned to dance after long decade breaks. Some discovered Bharatanatyam only as adults through Nrithyam. Some learnt almost entirely virtually. And for some, yesterday was our very first classical performance.
Different ages. Different professions. Different journeys. Different levels of experience.
But one shared love for dance.
For months, we fitted practices around work, school runs, studies, children, cooking and family commitments. Tired evenings, aching bodies, endless corrections, laughter, encouragement and plenty of “one more time!” 😄
And yesterday, we stood together and completed 17 continuous minutes of Bharatanatyam alongside more than 1,099 dancers at London 🥹❤️
This is what Nrithyam means to us.
Life can be incredibly full, but we are never too busy, too old or too late to make space for something that brings us joy. Art can heal, Art can transform ❤️
The medals and certificates will be treasured, but the friendships, confidence, sisterhood, memories and the feeling of achieving something together mean so much more.
So incredibly proud of US.
Yesterday we made a record.
But somewhere along the way, we also made memories we will carry for life. ❤️
Here’s to dancing through every season of our lives.
We did it, Nrithyam. 🥹❤️
