We all know that our kids' physical activities have reduced/ been restricted due to this pandemic. SDN’s lockdown video sessions are the main source of physical activity for my kids which helps them to keep their mind and physique fit.
These sessions help them to understand even the minute nuances of their positives & negatives with respect to dance. As kids have their video clips with them, they are easily able to understand the teacher’s correction and do better. Being a part of SDN, my kids have definitely shown improvement even during this lockdown with Sheela mam’s constant and continuous support as always. The lockdown video sessions have created a systematic life style despite the pandemic and has made my kids more inclined towards this beautiful art form. Meenakshi - my 10 year old daughter, who is the youngest of my kids, has learnt the art of planning her day. Thank you SDN and Pranams to Sheela mam for this initiative.
