3M With Shantha : Mobile App Series 11 (Beyond the App)
In this lively episode, Shantha takes the lead and turns the spotlight on Ram with a smile, asking, “Ram, everyone’s talking about the book Shall We Dance! and the app—but what’s next? What exactly are these workshops beyond the pages and the screen?”
Ram responds thoughtfully, “Shantha, the workshops are the living heartbeat of this project. They go far beyond theory—they’re immersive spaces for students to experience Bharatanatyam as a tool for self-transformation.” Shantha leans in, curious: “Self-transformation? Through dance?”
Ram nods, “Yes. We’re combining traditional dance pedagogy with modules on confidence, voice projection, emotional expression, and even leadership—especially for young minds.” She presses further, “And how are the workshops different for teachers or senior dancers?”
Ram explains, “We’re co-creating with the community—offering deep dives into Natya Shastra, Karanas, digital pedagogy using the app, and bringing wellness-based Bharatanatyam practices to the forefront.” With a twinkle in her eye,
Shantha wraps up: “So it’s not just dance—it’s discovery, dialogue, and a new direction. Let’s get the world dancing with purpose.”
