✅Performing Arts and its contribution in community building
In the midst of everything, I had the wonderful opportunity to share my Sattriya journey with the Dance Studies students at the University of Auckland.
It was a truly humbling experience and an absolute pleasure to bring a piece of my culture into the classroom, contributing in a small way to the rich and evolving cultural tapestry of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
I spoke about the history of the dance form, demonstrated a few basic units, and wrapped up with an engaging practical session with the students.
Thanks to @universityofauckland and @moveyourthinking Dance studies faculty. Special thanks to @roseyfeltham and Barbara Snook.

Dance Studies, School of Creative Arts at the University of Auckland is offering a special opportunity for a selected dancer to experience being a student for a day, gaining insight into tertiary dance study, alongside two hours of one-to-one choreographic mentoring with a member of the Dance Studies team. This experience is designed to support and inspire a student currently undertaking (or intending to undertake) NCEA Dance, offering personalised guidance, exposure to tertiary dance training, and the chance to ask questions about pathways, practice, and study in a supportive environment.
