The foot banger!

I always wanted one of my girls to learn Indian classical dance.. heck I have three..there is no harm in hoping at least one of three would entertain that thought and want to learn..
Urvi is so lost in gymnastics.. she lives-breathes-sleeps gymnastics. All I see in my house is my oldest giving gym tips to the other 2 who follow her around like droopy-eyed puppies trying to impress the coach!

Second-in-line is a bookworm. She loves dance, art, gymnastics, swim etc. etc. too... but in her heart she is a true bookworm. Can't complain I am or was one too. Can't forget the number of times my mom called me for lunch/dinner with no response from me or hiding my current fiction in a textbook and being downright happy. I guess I should try by at least enrolling her in Kathak, the highly sought-after and currently fashionable dance form after Bollywood dance ofcourse..thanks to my friends posting on Facebook about Chitresh Dance Academy!

Now we finally come to the little munchkin! She is our very lovable furball but for all the wrong reasons cause she me makes me hug her tight & climb the walls in frustration at the very same time...
Now I mentioned the afore-mentioned activity, namely Kathak, to my oldest who very calmly says you already have a winner as Neya (aka lil Ms. Frustration) is always rubbing her feet and dancing with her feet together in the very same way as Kathak or tap-dance. With a composition based solely on foot-work my little one goes from slow to a stupendously fast tempo ending in a dramatic climax!
Heck..that is exactly what is Kathak..
Looks like I have a new insight into Neya and maybe she is the one who will make Mom's hope a reality!
