Human beings are extremely fortunate to have been born as humans. I say so because of all species of the universe, only humans have been endowed with the ability to express their feelings through the medium of voice. The voice takes on an even more wonderful form when used to impart joy to others with the help of music. The purpose of various music and dance forms is to make people happy. There may be various genres and styles in the modern age, but the purpose still remains the same.
I have always been passionate about dance. After graduating from high school, I immediately began my hunt for a good dance institute in Delhi. The memory of the day of my very first dance class is still vivid in my mind. From the excitement I felt at the beginning of my class to the struggle I felt during the class and finally the exhaustion I felt after the class- I remember each and every feeling I experienced in those 2 hours. There are so many dance forms taught nowadays in India. However different they maybe from one another, there are two common traits found in each dancer- passion and perseverance. There is a popular saying- “Dance to express, not to impress”. My instructor constantly reminded her students to dance to express. Even though I don’t see her anymore, she would always hold a special place in my heart because she taught me to believe in myself and my talents. A dancer who dances without passion would never be able to touch the hearts of people, however great he/she is. On the other hand, a dancer who has passion but lacks the will to endure the hard years of training and gives up halfway would always be left with regrets. My journey of dance has not been easy either. There are still days when I return home with big, blue bruises on my knees and there are days when I cry out of frustration. But victory lies in not being defeated. This all dancers must keep in mind and carry on.
I recently enrolled myself in a renowned music institute and have been attending sessions regularly. Even though I lack the music sense that is inherent in so many, I am sure I would become a better singer with the passage of time. As mentioned in the title, music and dance indeed make life more beautiful because musicians and dancers not only make others happy, but they themselves find happiness in their respective art forms.
