Sarika Nayak: 我是一个外向的人,热爱与人交流,了解不同文化,并热衷于舞蹈。舞蹈是我生活中重要的一部分,它让我感到自由和快乐。我来到美国五年,从事IT行业,同时经营舞蹈工作室,教授宝莱坞舞蹈和印度古典舞蹈,并结合舞蹈治疗的理念,帮助学生们缓解压力,体验不同的文化和情绪。我开设了面向成年人和亲子家庭的舞蹈课程,也与多所高中合作,向学生们介绍印度文化和舞蹈。此外,我们还参加各种节日表演,向更广泛的观众展示印度舞蹈。我的舞蹈教学中融入了印度教神话故事,每个动作都有其象征意义,这需要演员具备很强的表演技巧和舞台掌控能力。我努力在美国传承和推广印度文化,并计划在印度寺庙开设舞蹈练习班,让更多孩子了解印度文化。 Bruce: 我与Sarika Nayak在工作中相识,她是一个充满活力和热情的人。我见证了她通过舞蹈缓解压力,保持积极心态。我们经常一起讨论文化差异和印度文化,我从她那里学到了很多。 Cameo: 我也有舞蹈背景,理解艺术形式的力量。艺术创作不仅能带来个人满足感,也能与他人分享,这正是艺术的魅力所在。Sarika Nayak的舞蹈教学让我看到了艺术疗愈的力量,也让我对印度文化产生了浓厚的兴趣。

What's it like to dance 2000-year-old ancient forms as a way to express your culture's ancient myths?
