We Building members and friends meet every last Saturday of the month at our building's Ac Hall and share talents and passions and what we have learned over the years.

Vimla Patil explained: Dance in Indian tradition is a language of the whole body. The feet, the hands, the eyes and the face and their expressions and movements are the language. It is a language of excitement, joy, love and romance and thus very attractive to the eye as well as to the heart. The mudras, which are common to Yogic positions and dance, are an integral part of the dance style.

Vimla showed some of these mudras and ended with a quiz cum game for everyone to follow.
Madhavi Mehta gave us a demonstration and talk on ‘Hast Mudras’ (Hand gestures) employed in dance. She also be performed a short dance.
She looked beautiful in her costume and looked years and years younger. I have noticed that is what happens when you share your 'passion' in life and obviously dance is hers.
All in all it was an enchanting evening.

Vimla's quiz was great fun. After explaining mudras she asked us to enact/dance a scene and people were supposed to guess. I tried and was not too bad. Anyway it makes me happy to think so :)
