International Dance Day
Gaurs International School, Siddharth Vihar, Ghaziabad marked International Dance Day 2025 with a spellbinding Solo Dance Competition themed “Rhythms of Cultures of India”
The celebration began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp followed by a graceful Ganesh Vandana by our talented Class 1 students
The atmosphere was graced by the presence of two incredible personalities who embody the spirit of dance:
Mamta Farsaiya – A living inspiration, Mamta Ji began her dance journey in her late 50s and has since mesmerized audiences with her expressive solo, duet, and group performances. Her work with legendary singer Anup Jalota in a music video is a testament to her talent and determination. She reminds us all that it's never too late to shine!
Shanky Singh – A prodigious Kathak dancer, teacher, and researcher, Shanky Sir is a disciple of Padma Vibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj Ji and a resident faculty at Kalashram, New Delhi. Trained in various Indian classical and folk forms, his performances have graced prestigious stages like the Khajuraho Dance Festival, World Cultural Festival, and Purana Qila Festival. At just 29, he is a beacon of tradition, technique, and grace.
The School Principal , Ms. Vandana Seth extended a heartfelt welcome to both the esteemed guests, setting a tone of reverence and celebration for the day.
The young performers truly brought the rhythms of India to life—each beat, each move echoing the cultural soul of our nation.
Let dance continue to unite, inspire, and express!
