Mistakes help you grow in life.
Laura originally hails from Argentina and has been studying Bharatanatyam for a very long time. She and her husband have been residing in Varanasi since 2018 and getting a firsthand look at Indian culture and traditions. Her husband is studying tabla as well. She wishes to impart to others her expertise and love of Indian culture.
Laura claims that she became attracted to Bharatanatyam after seeing a performer do it on television and made the decision to learn it. Additionally, she and her husband traveled to India in 2009. Since then, she has been studying Bharatanatyam. She is getting acquainted with Indian cuisine, language, culture, and people, as well as learning Bharatanatyam. Her Indian friends refer to her as Lali.
According to Laura, Argentina also has a large population of Kuchipudi, Odissi, and Bharatanatyam instructors. She did, however, travel to India to learn it more effectively. Bharatanatyam instruction in India, in Laura's opinion, offers a more genuine and immersive experience that enables her to fully immerse herself in the dance form's rich cultural legacy. She believes that spending time in India has improved not only her technical proficiency but also her comprehension of the subtle cultural distinctions and historical significance of the dance form.
Laura finds Indian culture to be beautiful and inspiring. She is working to improve her Hindi. She enters the Benares streets and participates in the temples' hymn chanting. Beyond merely the dance, Indian culture captivates Laura. She thinks that studying Hindi will help her connect more deeply to the culture and people of the country while also making it easier for her to speak with locals.
Every time she begins studying or instructing the dance, she begins by reciting a mantra honoring Saraswati, Ganesha, and Mahesha. She is aware that Lord Shiva is the rightful owner of all varieties of cosmic dance, according to Indian tradition. She claims that reciting mantras provides you with energy that directs your feelings, ideas, and deeds. She believes that each syllable in Indian mantras has a distinct sound associated with it, and all of these sounds are vibrant with energy.
Practice, practice, practice is Laura's motto for success. She utilizes a method of first studying and then instructing when teaching Bharatanatyam. She claims that making mistakes is normal. You can grow as a result of your mistakes and learn from them.
Laura aspires to promote Indian culture throughout the globe. She is grateful to her instructors, gurus, and friends for helping her learn about Indian culture. By encouraging others to learn about and appreciate various cultures, she seeks to promote harmony and understanding among many populations.
