Graduating Kathak Showcase by Sia PatelPuri - Live
August 5th, 2023
College of San Mateo | Bullying causes unspeakable pain and hardship. Let’s stamp it out for good. Find your inner strength and no matter what, don’t fall. Stand up; be strong like “Titanium” — you too can ignore and deflect hurtful words. The metaphors and symbolism in this ballad have a very powerful message that I present through Kathak, an Indian Artform that requires tremendous stamina and skill to dance fast footwork and lightning-speed pirouettes with five pounds of strung bells on each ankle! Dance is my voice | As part of our YOUTH VOICES SERIES, we share an interview with Sia PatelPuri. Sia began learning kathak in 2010, and then auditioned and was accepted in to the youth company. She has since performed at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Asian Art Museum and many other prestigious events. |
