It all started with a routine corporate grind. I was trapped within a pattern of conferences, spreadsheets, and the constant vibes of emails. But at heart, there was this yearning for something more, something passionate. Then, one day, I stumbled across a Kathak class. The rhythm captured me away. The movements were fluid, telling narratives without copyright. I was instantly spellbound.
From that moment, the boardroom became my creative haven and the corporate world faded into the background. Switching my business attire for a traditional outfit, I embraced the grace of Kathak. The discipline, the dedication it required mirrored the responsibilities of the corporate world, but instead of spreadsheets, I was expressing feelings.
It wasn't always a walk in the park. Balancing life with my new commitment was a struggle, but the joy I experienced in Kathak made it all rewarding.
Now, when I dance, I don't just move my body. I share stories, explore feelings, and connect with the audience on a more profound level. It's a journey of transformation. From boardroom to Bhangra, Kathak has changed me.

Similarly, the CEO's focus honed through years of leadership translates into a powerful presence on stage.
