In sync: At the dance

Deafening applause filled the Hari Hara Kala Bhavan hall as the visually-challenged made the audience rhyme to their beats and dance to their tunes. The occasion was to celebrate passion for life and the event was “Hrudaya Spandana.” The event was organised by Sahaaya Foundation to demonstrate that visually- challenged need opportunity and not sympathy. “The main idea behind the programme was to show every body what these kids can do. Their talent had to be showcased,” says Krishna Prasad Chandu, Joint Secretary, Sahaaya foundation.

Music makeover

Aged between 10 and 15 years, the children did not have any formal training in any of the instruments they played. From racy numbers to soulful original compositions, the orchestra played while the singers and the dancers displayed their immense talent.

“I have been practising for several years now and this platform is extremely special for me as I got to prove myself in the presence of several artistes from the film industry,” says Phani of Musumuri Academy of Classical Dance, KPHB Colony, who received rave reviews. The academy vowed to return next year with the same passion but confirmed that a fine rendition would be done by the visually challenged kids.

Inspiring all, the event proved to exemplify hard work, perseverance and a zest to “live life king size.”
