3M With Shantha : Special Episode on Book & Mobile App
In this special episode of 3M with Shantha, the ever-curious and engaging Shantha anchors the show and invites Ram Krishnamani, the author of Shall We Dance, for an in-depth conversation.
Shantha begins by highlighting Ram’s impressive journey—43 book launches across multiple countries in just 15 months. She quizzes him on the most moving and unforgettable moment from this whirlwind tour.
Ram reflects on his international travels and shares heartfelt memories from events in the US, Canada, India, Kuwait, Muscat, and now Sri Lanka.
Shantha then shifts focus to the mobile app, asking how Shall We Dance evolved from a book into an immersive digital learning experience. Ram explains that the app offers structured modules on Bharatanatyam—from Adavus and Mudras to podcasts and curated video lessons—designed for students, teachers, and cultural enthusiasts across the globe.
She praises the seamless blending of tradition and technology, and asks what’s next—new geographies, partnerships, or academic collaborations?
Ram hints at upcoming launches across Asia and Europe, and exciting collaborations with universities.
Shantha closes the session by asking Ram for one line of wisdom he would like to leave with every aspiring dancer and their families.
He offers a powerful quote that underscores the timeless beauty and cognitive strength of Indian classical arts.
The episode ends with Shantha’s signature sign-off: “Stay safe, take care, keep dancing”
