Today let me tell you a story of a boy or rather a man who was a year short of 20 when he decided to learn a dance form. A dance form which brought him challenges because of its female centric perseverance in our diverse yet united society. He had to face the people who would ask him why he couldn't do something worthwhile or find a real job. He too was looked down upon by many.
The boy when in his first ballet class got disappointed after noticing that he's the only boy in a class of 21. That the few boys who joined thereafter only to drop out later didn't matter.
His steely resolve to become a professional ballet dancer bore fruit in 2005,when he got a scholarship to attend a workshop in Argentina. This trip served as the turning point in his life as in Argentina they comprised of 50 boys in a class. His two months stay in Argentina spurred him to become dancer-instructor at IFBC and open two ballet schools in Mumbai and Delhi.
But things were difficult on money front too as he,one of the three kids was brought up by a single mother. So, even after saving money by teaching ballet, financial struggles were something he's familiar with.
Yet today the man himself, Sanjay Khatri who is now 30 yrs old stands as the first Indian ballet dancer and has just proved every single person who's reading this,who wants to dance,who have been told that they cant do it, you can do it! And the same goes with whatever you want to do in life.
