A friend asked me what was the difference between my experience with DI and other places that I worked before. I told her that Shaira can make anyone a dancer, absolutely anyone! as long as you are dedicated. I personally never believed that I could dance the way I did that day :) Shaira, you know exactly how to bring out the dancer in us, how to bring out those moves, those expressions in us.
And what can I say about DI, being a part of this team has been an inspiring experience for me. Our team members constantly work hard on improving not just themselves but each other. This is what is TRUE TEAM SPIRIT. Together, we have achieved so much and we will achieve much much more!!!
Love you Shaira and DI :)
Before Dance Identity, people lucky enough to see me dance, laughed their hearts out. They said I am able to do all steps, just funnier.
I still remember my first day with Dance Identity where I could not move my two hands together in two different directions; people said I had two right feet. Today I hear a different story. People wanting to learn "that twist wala step" from me. I having a lot more confidence to dance, to present myself on a platform where 1000s can watch and still it doesnt dampen my enthusiasm.
Dance identity is not just dancing on bollywood numbers, it is much more. With every class, I learnt the correct technique be it a simple stamping of the foot or be it co-ordination of legs and hands. I learnt contemporary, Jazz, hip-hop, bhangra and more importantly, the correct way to do it.
Kudos to Shaira and DI.. I really am able to identify the dancer in me..
Post Dance Show Syndrome can be a very enjoyable and a very annoying disease. The medical research community has only recently started to tabulate and research this syndrome in greater detail. Though it has been found to be very common in the populace. It is specifically named Dance Show Syndrome due to its large occurrence among dance show dancers. Though these cases have been reported among stage actors, social dancers and practitioners of many other physical art forms.
Occurence:
It has been found that symptoms are usually prominent within the first 24 hours after a dance show. The symptoms are said to intensify over the next 48 - 72 hour period following the initial 24 hour kick in. This period can last from up to 7 days to 1 month. Though some sufferers of this syndrome have known to never fully recover throughout their lives and they jump from doing one dance show to another incessantly or fully involve themselves in some form of dancing throughout their lives.
Symptoms:
- Dance show tunes still playing in head all day.
- Legs occasionally moving to dance show beats even while walking to meetings.
- Ability to think about things other than dance severely reduced.
- Unsure of how to fill rehearsal times with other "meaningless" activities.
- Reliving the harrying moments on stage in the head.
- Laughing hysterically at the stupid mistakes while getting wild stares from coworkers.
- Insatiable appetite for dance show pictures and videos.
- Having to try very hard to control yourself from not commenting on every photo and video on every website.
Treatment & Care:
These treatments have NOT been known to completely cure these ailments but can be helpful in alleviating symptoms
- Watch movies.
- Sleep
- Try to stay in face to face meetings with boss all day (this is a very severe form of treatment and NOT recommended for everyone)
- Work out incessantly.
- Listen to music that makes your head explode.
The only known successful treatment in fact more DANCE, which is the cause of the syndrome in the first place. This type of treatment is a rather rare for a syndrome since it is not caused by a virus whereby a virus's DNA can be modified to combat the said virus.
Prevention:
No known prevention methods are known at this time.
Though living in complete isolation from society has been debated among experts as a form of extreme prevention technique but has never been successfully tested.
Therefore, eventually the rhythm WILL get you whether you dance or not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would please invite sufferers of PDSS to comment on this post with their personal experiences, their treatments and their coping mechanisms as it might help the rest of the sufferers find their own solutions as well. There is no substitute to real world data when diagnosing these syndromes.
DI happened when Shaira met the dancer within us.
So what happens when nuclei combine? - energy is released. That's exactly what happened when DI landed its first stage performance. We were invited to perform at the PAN IIT Diwali Dhamaka 2009. We opened the show with a bang and closed it with a big-bang. The feedback from audience included "enamouring and enchanting".
We are very grateful to our teacher for getting us here in a month.
Check back for footage and pictures from the show.
Motivated? Pumped? Want to discover the dancer in you? Drop us a line.

Do we think of jazz squares or bus stops when we watch a Bollywood dance number? Most probably not. Dance identity, led by Shaira Bhan is using the fun, jumpy, energetic numbers from her much familiar Bollywood to shed light on the basics and fundamentals of jazz dance. Shaira has worked with Bollywood actors, danced and choreographed in many famous numbers, Dhoom, U me aur Hum, No smoking are just to name a few. Her dance fitness workout is still running on NDTV Goodtimes. However, there is more to her classes and Dance Identity than just those statistics. Dance Identity is about the dancers who are interested in learning the fundamentals and the technique while still enjoying the exhilirating Bollywood beats.
