For these women, this is an outlet for reducing stress as well as an exercise to keep them physically and mentally fit,� said Poonam of the Twinkle Toes Dance Academy.
Along with kids who would be performing, some of their mothers would also be taking part in a few presentations. According to Bandita whose two children would be performing on the day, the day would be special in her life because she would make a debut on stage. �I decided to learn dance to get out of the routine schedule and keep my mind and body fit. This is the best exercise for me because I am enjoying it,� she added.
For mothers like Priyanka and Sweta, dance is also a medium to forget the tension of a hectic city life. They feel that perfection is not as important as enjoying what one does. �I am not at all perfect. But still I am continuing with dance and looking forward to our programme. Mistakes will be there as we are just learning but I feel for women this is one of the best options to bust their stress,� said Sweta.
On the other hand, for Akriti who is an entrepreneur and mother of one child, learning something new is always exciting and challenging.
A few print media professionals would also be performing in the show.
