I belong to kolkata and shifted to Mumbai at the age of 18 to pursue higher education as well as a career in dancing. But fortunately i have amazing parents who support me everyday and take pride in my work.
I was always inclined towards dancing since the age of 6. Gradually i had started choreographing for school fests and other contests. As soon as i moved to mumbai, I started working.
4. Can you throw some light on opportunities one gets as a Dancer?
There are not too many to be honest. There is a lot of struggle and lot of competition. And as a profession, it is difficult to make a lot of money. But if you are at it, working hard constantly you can be a good teacher, choreographer, fitness instructor etc.
Training is important but not imperative. There are so many people who are gifted. They have a natural talent. For example, i can remember a step by seeing it once and i could do that even at the age of 6.
There are many forms that i never took formal training in but have taught myself.
The only advice i can give is to keep working hard and to have faith. It will be tough world and a tough industry so you have to be strong and have the ability to fight all odds yet practice regularly.
I am not really an avid reader.
