The junior dancers were wonder struck by the culture, practices and routines of these beautiful dancers.

“They felt the pressure but knew they had to accomplish what they had set out to achieve and they did a fabulous job” said Smitha, a choreographer at D4U studio.


“We got to learn so much by just looking at the various dancers- their lifestyles, their commitment, their passion and their dedication. But most of all, we learnt what it is to feel encouraged and respected. We saw quality education for dance, we saw unwavering faith of the dancers and we saw the love the country as a whole portrayed towards dance.”
