Shankha Bhattacharyya

On June 28, Chhandachhabi Nritya Kala Bitan, under the meticulous planning and direction of Aparajita Saha, presented a graceful dance performance before an almost full house at Girish Mancha.

We have all heard the proverb “practice makes a man perfect”. This proverb was once again proven right that evening by Aparajita Saha. Not only did she deliver an outstanding dance performance; the performances of her students were equally enjoyable. A dancer is like an artist walking on a tightrope—if they lose balance even for a moment, they risk fading into oblivion.

That evening, Aparajita Saha achieved the seemingly impossible. The repeated rounds of applause after every dance were proof of it. With numerous students under her guidance, she has turned dedication to practice into the tool for creating extraordinary dance moments. Each performance was enjoyed by the audience. Dance is Aparajita Saha’s sole passion and devotion! People in every profession seek the essence of life within their own craft—and she finds hers in dance.

To make the programme more captivating, images were projected onto the screen through visual projection.

During the event, poet and playwright Mr. Chanchal Bhattacharya was felicitated for his contribution to theatre. After the intermission, journalist and storyteller Mr. Anit Mukherjee was honoured.

The entire event was planned and directed by Chhandachhabi’s founder and eminent dancer, Aparajita Saha. Thanks to her tireless effort and dedication, Chhandachhabi Nritya Kala Bitan is poised to secure a permanent place in the world of dance in the future.
