Power of Dance n Music.

This is just unbelievable for anyone who would visit this house of temple where even the up growing trees have to bend down their branches towards the ground. Everyone must be knowing that Power of Dance and Music can convert impossible into possible. This is the same with trees planted at “ Nritya Prerna ” school of dance owned by the famous dancer Mrs. Suchitra Date at Mitra Mandal colony, near saras baag. She herself is a psycho therapist and conducts one to one counseling.
This place is where the backyard of the bungalow has a dancing floor surrounded by trees, grass, historical monuments, etc. we can say it’s a wholesome of a wonderful place of purity, knowledge and happiness. She is been teaching Bharatnatyam here for the last 23 yrs. She has also used her dancing skills for the mentally challenged children using dance therapy. She has also worked at private institutions like Kamayani and the Balgram at the Tata Institute, Social Sciences during her college days in Mumbai and also handles cases given to her by orthopedic surgeons.
During these days, she noticed various changes as she worked with her first case, more preferably whom she calls her first student was a Septum Defect i.e. Hole in the heart. Teaching the small girl dance, her efforts broke all bounds and the girl’s life span increased by 7-8 years more than the time prescribed to her by the doctor. Mrs. Suchitra Date has also worked upon many blind, deaf n dumb, atheistic children, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder), ADD (attention deficit disorder) and different forms of dyslexia as we see the child in the movie Taare Zaamen Par. One of her challenging job was when she worked upon a girl who walked on her toes mostly known to have mild cerebral palsy. Now the girl not only walks but also runs and participates in school sports competition. She says, the most important thing I noticed was a sure cure to their problems to some extent. Working with the blind is in itself very wonderful job. Orphanage children mostly suffered with scabies and after teaching them dance it’s started getting cured and with some it could cure totally. The children seem to become healthier, increased resistance power and overall started improving. This can truly be called the power of art form (dance). She says, people need not come to me but they should start learning Bharatnatyam and I am sure it would be great help.
She also encourages her students to take up dance therapy as a carrier, which is very interesting as well as much influencing, help to society. She herself also takes short term courses.
Suchitra Date says, I believe people of our country should respect our Indian cultural dances and keep them going “ Its our culture, prestige and our duty to preserve it”and she believes EVERY PERSON IS SPECIAL !

I feel proud to tell tht i m one of her many students. :-)
