#InternationalDanceDay: Bhakti Kubavat adds, “I want to explore international dance forms now.”
Dancing represents “liberation, expression, and freedom” for Bhakti Kubavat. The actor, who grew up learning traditional dance styles, is now interested in discovering other dance genres. Bhakti tells us, “I am really intrigued by shuffle dance and want to learn it now, along with belly dance,” on International Dance Day.
“My inspiration has been Madhuri Dixit.”
Bhakti talks on her love of dancing and says, “I learned to dance before I could walk! I’ve loved dancing since I was a small kid, and I began studying Bharatanatyam at an early age.Regretfully, I was unable to get the degree since the Visharad test conflicted with my Class X board examinations. I picked up Kathak years later. I assumed that Kathak would be simple since I was familiar with Bharatanatyam, but the two forms are quite different. I’m happy I learned both.
She continues, “I grew up watching Madhuri Dixit dance gracefully to iconic songs like Ek Do Teen and Chann Ke Khet Mein,” while discussing her sources of inspiration. I knew that I wanted to dance like her after seeing her dancing movements.
“I hope Ahmedabad allows us to have dance battles.”
These days, it matters that people be aware of your hobbies in addition to your work as an artist. Even though people are aware that I organize events and appear in movies, social media has allowed me to use dance reels and videos to show off my dancing abilities. In a musical, I danced to fifteen different Bollywood songs from various periods during my first theater performance. It was among my life’s most satisfying experiences. I still wish I could do something similar, using dancing to help me discover who I am. Our nation is home to a vast array of dance styles.
I hope we can present them to the world in a variety of ways. Nearly all forms of art are abundant in Ahmedabad. In addition to dancing clubs, we now conduct worldwide workshops for dance forms including salsa, Bachata, and others. Dancing fights provide a fun and hard element to dancing, therefore I hope we can have them too.
