Basu Sharma is the Director at Disha Creative Dance Group in New Delhi. She is a Kathak performer and a choreographer.
Basu was born and brought up in Delhi. Since childhood, she was interested in dance.
Basu shares that her father used to play the harmonium for his kids very often. She used to learn dance and music as a hobby and never thought of taking it as a profession when she grew up. But when she received awards and payments for her dance then she realized that it is a different field. Then she started learning classical and other forms of dance and the journey of her dance began in a professional way.
Continuing to share about the journey of her dance career, Basu says that she used to perform the dance at national and international levels. But after her marriage, she felt that she would never be able to continue her dance due to her increased responsibilities in bringing up her family. Basu's desire and lust for her profession eventually helped her to manage everything and again she is performing dance at the international level.
When asked about role models in her life, Basu says that she considers her father as her role model who always supported her when society objected to her dance. She also learned to remain cool and calm in every situation from her father.
Regarding her hobbies, Basu says that dance is her prime hobby. Sometimes she plays badminton for her recreation.
Talking about the mistakes in her life, Basu says that once she became overconfident and directly performed on the stage without practicing. This was completely reflected by her face and body movements. She considers this a blunder in her life and she never repeated that.
To the parents, Basu advises them that they should motivate their child to join this field from an early age because it takes 10 to 15 years to become a perfect dancer. Also, they should never be overconfident.
Advising everyone, Basu says to stay happy and let others be happy. She also advises us to live and let live and never hurt others.
