DANCE WITH JOY:-
Once a year, Arts in Motion pauses
to pay tribute to students who share their passion for dance & to all those
teachers who dedicate themselves to this art in the Arts in Motion.
This show is a unique platform provided to a wide variety of Indian &
international dances in their pure & classical form presented by
local students, under the aegis of one dance institution, an explosive display
of extraordinary expertise all at once. In the last 6 years, Arts in Motion has
also been working tirelessly to create awareness in our society for
the special requirements of the differently challenged thru annual Dance with
Joy shows. Held under media blitzkrieg, Dance with Joy shows enjoy public,
corporate & celebrity patronage. Mental, physical, financial & social
trials can break the body & bruise the spirit making life painful &
despairing. Physically, dancing encourages a stronger mind body connection
& music is known to have amazing healing properties; emotionally, dance can
bring joy to all. AiM Dance with Joy platform is a modest attempt to create
awareness for a social cause & to help integration through interaction.
An already and ever expanding and pioneering
premier dance, fitness and theatre institution, AiM also announced a
unique school of music in an exclusive collaboration with the Prince
of Percussion, Taufiq Qureshi and his Ridhun Academy of World Rhythms
(RAWR). AiM heralded the beginning of a new music chapter with the arrival of
RAWR at AiM through a unique performance by Taufiq Qureshi & his students
during its 4th annual dance extravaganza. AiM Music will collaborate the two
into an energizing cohesion of arts, a fusion of music & dance; a
synthesis of rhythm & art in movement.
