Connecting Soul To Stage 

Tithi Patel, Dhruvi Vasavada and Jahnvi Parikh could connect their souls to the stage with the most repose heart. Dance brought them together and has made their bond inseparable. Similarly, India, a land of colours and traditions, a country in which each state adds to its canvas a new colour. Diversity in each state and its regions has distinct styles of dance and folk music in which they communicate their community's existence. Folk dances are an integral part of the heritage and culture of India, and their importance was, is, and always will be immense. Folk dances form part of the special identity of India.

Present Art piece is embracing different dance styles of Western India on a beautiful song named “Radha Rani Lage”. The Song shows enduring love of Krishna for his beloved Radha. It is said the Krishna (the divine) can only be reached through Radha (devotion and love). Radha and Krishna do not exist one without the other, they are one: Radhakrishna.

Of the moment not only did Radhakrishna teach everyone to love each other together, have patience, have power of sacrifice and the courage to help your love with love, but he also taught that it is you who can put your love before society and embrace Indian culture by being selfless, unconditional and immortal without expecting reciprocity. It is not within the boundaries of any social ethos, bonding or contract, therefore anything in the world is boundless, eternal and pure.

Tithi, Dhruvi and Jahnvi have loved to embrace themselves through dance since the age of 7. Starting their journey at a very young age, they took training under Smt. Ulpa Desai for more than 10 years in Bharatanatyam, and later in 2019 started their own dance school ‘Aangikam School Of Dance’. They are dancers and choreographers from Gujarat, India and they instil various dance styles like Folk, Semi classical, contemporary and Bollywood. Tithi, being a law student, uses dance as an effective tool of communication which brings confidence in her own body. On the other hand, Dhruvi, an engineering student, complements herself by precisely having a calculative movement, and flowing alongside. And Jahnvi, the youngest of all, counterpoises her life through dance, bordering herself towards a medical line.
