“We got some respite when offline classes began, but now schools have resumed online classes again. During this time, to break the monotony, students feel excited to celebrate Rabindra Jayanti through a dance programme. Every year, we organize such a programme to encourage students towards Rabindra Nritya,” said Dipshika Bhowal, the parent of a child who studies at South Point School as well as a dance teacher.
Dishari Nrityam, Bhowal’s school, organized a dance show in the online mode. Students from various schools participated in it.
“The online classes are becoming hectic and the Rabindra Jayanti performances give us a respite, where we feel very much excited. Moreover, such opportunities amidst the online classes keep us moving,” said Debanjali, a student of the BSS School in Kolkata.
“I love Rabindra Nritya and on every Rabindra Jayanti, I get an opportunity to perform, for which I have been waiting for a long time,” said Anwesha, a student of Techno India School.
The students also performed physically, in a cultural function organized by Purbasha Sanskritik Chakra on May 13.
“I feel bored when attending online classes. When offline classes were there, I was quite excited and now to perform in such a dance programme give me lots of satisfaction,” said Rajanya Bhowal, a student of South Point School, Kolkata.
