Dance for a cause at this workshop with Salome Roy Kapur; where proceeds will go towards a breast cancer medicine bank

The workshop will be conducted at the art gallery every Wednesday for two months
Humans dance to express, to bond, and often, to forget. “One of the most difficult things to do for people who have recovered from any kind of trauma is to talk,” says Tarana Khubchandani, a breast cancer survivor, and director of Worli-based art gallery, Art & Soul. “Activities like dancing allow people to drop their inhibitions, and connect with other people, without needing to say a word. It is a liberating experience that can become a kind of therapy in itself,” she says. After completing its first successful sessions of Joy of Dance with Salome Roy Kapur in April, the Worli-based art gallery is now ready to host the second round of this workshop. The funds raised will go towards a breast cancer medicine bank by Khubchandani’s NGO Passages.
“This time, we are hosting the dance sessions every Wednesday for two months,” Kapur shares excitedly. The response last time, Khubchandani and Kapur add, was overwhelming. “Attendees had urged us to continue. And so, we are back with another round,” the duo exclaims. Kapur will teach Latin and line dancing in the eight sessions. “People are often worried about not being able to dance, but as they open up to it one session at a time, they lose themselves to music and perform without a care,” Khubchandani shares. This, according to Kapur, is the true joy of dancing.
