These Two 8-Year-Old Ballerinas From Mumbai Are The Youngest Indians To Represent India Abroad. Wow!

India is known for its various art forms especially when it comes to the many dance forms and styles, hailing from various parts of the country. Even though dance forms like ballet are yet to find a solid ground here, we cannot be more proud to tell you that two 8 year-old ballerinas from National Ballet School of India (NBSI) are representing India at an international level. #Proud

International Ballet Grand Prix, Singapore

Mayra Chatterjee and Anaisha Goenka from NBSI (which is based out of Mumbai) have been selected to represent India at International Ballet Grand Prix, Singapore (IBGPS) this month. And as they got selected, they have also achieved the feat of being the youngest Indians to represent the country at an international level in ballet. Wow!

Both Mayra and Anaisha have taken live-judged masterclasses and have submitted a video of their variations. With immense support from the International Ballet Grand Prix, these two girls are ready to take ballet to another level. This year IBGPS will be greeting over 300 ballerinas from around the world for the competition.

Now, about their performance, they have prepared solo variations from the Sleeping Beauty ballet and we are excited! These 8 year olds get their training from NBSI which is founded by Dhvani Kothari, who is also the Artistic Director of this ballet school. NBSI hosts free ballet classes too, so do keep a tab on their social media.
