Kavya's first dance performance on stage

Kavya has been learning bollywood dance for past 2 sessions now (since end of Jan) from Gurus of Dance company.

The first session was held at Blossom Hill location (KB fitness) and was taught by Miss Rani. There were 5 kids in the class (2 others did not continue). This session was not a performance quarter meaning the kids would not perform on the stage - just in the class. Kavya enjoyed this session - especially since her friend Keya was in the class too. They danced on the 'All izz Well' song from the '3 idiots' movie. Here is the link to the video.

After the first session, I was having double thoughts if I should continue with the 2nd session..but then since it was a performance quarter, I thought of giving it a try. Gurus of Dance did not have enough enrollment at the Blossom Hill location, so they canceled the classes at that location and asked us to move to Evergreen or Milpitas location. Since the class at Milpitas location was on weekend, it was more favorable, but the location was about 17 miles away. However, Leena (Keya's mom) convinced me to go for it. So, Kavya and Keya both ended up going to the Milpitas location. This time their teacher was Miss Tejal and they were dancing on 'Ek thi Ladki' song from the movie 'Pyar Impossible'. The kids (along with the teacher) worked hard for 8 sessions (including the Grand and Tech Rehearsals)

The final performance was at the Campbell Heritage Theatre on May 8th. The dance company provided the costumes and they were so cute. Kavya's group was the first class to perform and they all were so cute. Enjoy the video :


Kavya seems to be enjoying dance. Every time she listens to either 'All izz Well' or 'Ek thi Ladki' song, she starts dance. Also, these are the only 2 songs she wants to listen in the car now :). I have already enrolled her in the next session that starts in July.
