I thought of devoting this column to all u people out there who have always wanted to dance at some point of time but have for some reason been held back by what they've stated to be a combination of
A. dearth of will
B. a bit of complacency
n
C. at times,negative vibes resounding in their own psyche or in some of the cases,picked up from the surroundings..
This reminds me of one of the examples..living proof rather..how factor 'C' duz play an important role in conditioning the way people think..
One of my dear friends Sarthak was very enthusiastic about Dance..n still is..as far as I know...passionate wud b d right word I guess!The only thing that was holding him back from going out there n breaking a leg was the factor 'C' stated above which henceforth ,I'll refer to as the NVRP(Negative Vibes Resounding in Psyche) factor.
He said that people told him he wasn't cut out to be there to show his moves coz he was in a very mild way,obese..now,the point is..U don't need to have chiseled Bruce Lee or SRK(in OSO) like features to shake a leg..All U ever need is a will to go out there n just express urself for dance is,to me,a form of expression..no matter wat people think or say or opine..If u feel comfortable with urself then it duznt matter..doesn't have to be a perfectly choreographed sequence..Dats d least amount of pep-talk I could have given him n it gives me immense contentment n happiness 2 state dat it was effective for dat friend of mine has now given a couple of good performances as a member of some dance group n it's really heartening to see how people can by sheer power of will n determination,shed their inhibitions n do wat their heart tells them to do:-)
So,the basic idea that I want to get across to people is dat U don't have 2 do a Michael Jackson or a Presley for dat matter...If ur heart tells u to express ur happiness ,ur feelings by any means dat remotely represents ne known form of dance or even if it doesn't..go on..shake a leg!
I don't know many people who dance, but I think that dance is an emotional expression of oneself. It is driven by ones attitude and state of mind. Dancing is all about innovation and creativity. I think dancing is a way of self fulfillment and people who dance mostly have a peaceful state of mind. And its good that you have encouraged your friends to dance because there is no bigger sin than not doing what you want to do. I guess I should shake a leg more often!
