Since childhood, I was interested in becoming a dancer. As the financial condition of my family was not so good, I used to wonder whether I would be able to complete my studies or not. However, due to the firm determination and efforts of my mother for my higher studies, I got success through Vatsalayadham. After studying at a school in Surat, my mother decided to send me to Vatsalaydham, where my dreams got new wings.

Can a child from poor family become a dancer? The answer to the question is ‘yes’. If a poor child is encouraged and provided proper environment and guidance and if he gets a platform to nurture the hidden talent in him then any child can achieve the target set out in his life. In Vatsalaydham, along with dance training, I also got a chance to train students in dance which has helped me to nourish my talent.

Today, I got a job as a dance choreographer in Mumbai Dance Institute. Vatsalyadham has played a vital role in my success. Vasant Dada as well as mentors of Vatsalyadham had faith in me and constantly encouraged me to proceed further. Today I am happy working as a Dance trainer with many young and avid students in Mumbai. Along with this, it gives me immense pleasure and joy to work as a dance trainer at Laxmi Vidyapeeth, Sarigam, and Vatsalya Night School.
