I am a choreographer, dance instructor and now a World Record Holder from Bangalore. Meanwhile, I also run a dance academy named Youth Zone Dance Academy. I have choreographed several TV shows, reality shows and events in Mumbai and South India. At the same time, I also teach disabled people the art of dance. Today, I am a choreographer who has trained over 1000 students through my classes.

I was fat-shamed and discourage while I was in school. This one time, I remember wanting to participate in a dance for the annual day at my school. However, I wasn’t selected for the auditions because I was fat!
There was a fire of anger and passion inside me because I hadn’t been allowed to dance. It shattered my confidence until one day in college. I was the cultural secretary and during a dance competition, I had two options – either to grab this opportunity and showcase my talent or let the fire inside me burn.
I chose to go for the former and showcased my dance, my hobby and the one thing I believed I was born for! And so, I went on to that stage with the fire raging inside me and performed on Sridevi’s ‘Hawa Hawai.’ I won the first prize that day and understood that dance has no body type. You just need to dance with your heart and soul and you can conquer all the discouraging waves!
Since then, I didn’t look back and I am even called the Garba Queen of Bengaluru for my excellent Garba skills.
The warmth and friendliness that I provide to my clients are well appreciated. Additionally, the results they see in their dancing skills helped me gain popularity. While the Hoolahoop is my speciality, I also provide an overall dance development which includes learning the art of aerial dancing.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
