To @pravah_dance.productions @radha_productions.kathak @yatradanceproductions and many more 🫶🏼

Some people never miss an opportunity to show up, cheer you on, encourage you, and make you feel supported in every little step.

To every student, institution, and production that has always been there for Pratham Umang and me, thank you for all the love, encouragement, and constant support. It means so much to have people who genuinely believe in what we do and make an effort to be a part of our journey.

Your presence and appreciation never go unnoticed. It is because of people like you that this journey feels even more special.

Truly grateful for all the love. Always! ✨

Nothing is predictable in life, especially when starting a business at 20. Aditya wanted to start his own production house to not just have a stage for his own performance but to give opportunities to others and keep Kathak alive.

What he did not realise was how much he would love the teaching aspect of it. He found his love for teaching through his entrepreneurial venture and subsequently decided to expand it.

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, Aditya talks about his journey of starting Yatra turned into an unexpected journey of self-discovery and what now has become a proper establishment with a studio for teaching and production.

Not many can say that they had support from their parents when pursuing a career outside the norm, especially if it is in the performing arts.

However, there are some parents that are neither fully supportive not completely dismissive. Aditya Sharma, a professional Kathak dancer, teacher, and entrepreneur has such parents.

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, Aditya shares how his parents never stopped him from achieving his dreams but warned him about the hard life he would have to face and guided him on how to keep a backup option and have skills outside dance.

Traditional Indian dance forms require not just skill in the dance form but also life skills. The knowledge one gains while learning the dance form is just as crucial as the steps and rhythm.

These teachings can only be provided by your guru, therefore the guru becomes one of the most important aspects of learning and mastering a traditional dance form.

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, Aditya talks about his journey of changing gurus and eventually finding his current guru at a low time in his life. He talks about how having the right guru is crucial to one’s journey.

What happens when a frustrated dancer starts experimenting with fabric and stitches to create a kurta for himself? He ends up finding a solution to the discomfort of people in his community that was not visible earlier.

Aditya saw a problem in modern day kurtas and rather than waiting for someone to come up with a solution, he took matters into his own hands, leading to him starting his own clothing line.

In this episode of Bridging The Gap, Aditya talks about his journey in starting his own clothing line after facing problems due to the uncomfortable structure of current kurtas, inevitably building something larger than himself.
