Ms Sinchana Shetty and the team accorded a welcome with their dance. The motto of the dance was “To dance is to be out of you. Larger, more beautiful, more powerful… it is Glory on earth and it is yours for the taking.” Dance has no barriers it is something that everyone can feel, everyone can understand, and something everyone can enjoy. It’s an art that has transcended cultures across millennia.

 

The students of the department of French presented a French song ‘Donnez moi’ translating to ‘Bring me’ from the point of view of an optimistic girl who aims to live life to the fullest, relishing in the paradise that the world has to offer. What’s even more beautiful is, the question she puts forth towards the end of the song, ‘If I don’t love myself, does it serve any purpose to love all the beauty that the world gives?’. It was followed by a dance to a french song.

 

Students of Kannada Sangha performed a Kannada Drama on the theme”????? ?????? ?????”. the drama which showed the importance of preserving nature. The drama showed that if we are to live a healthy life we should protect our environment. Today because of human greed nature is being destroyed. The students of Hindi Sangh performed a Hindi song Beti ki vidaayi se dukhi hokar, ek pita apne beti ko, he chidiya, wapas mere aangan me aa jaa kehta hai. Following this melody, came a song which conveyed the message that there is still life remaining in me, a heartbeat that has not faded, then why give up?

 

The next event of the day was the English Drama ‘The King Who Limped’ by Monica Thorne. A satire that criticizes the sycophancy of the officials in the palace of a king. Criticism of people who please their superiors for favours. This play was comical. The students of the Kannada Sangha performed a song by Santa Shishunala Shareef. “???? ????? ????????????”. Dance is strong magic! Where the body can fly without wings and sing without voice. Dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. It is poetry with arms and legs.

 

Here we have a concept of vivacious and applauding imaginative concoction, the acts of our gifted students showcase their talent on stage that will bring smiles to your faces and set your feet tapping. The final performance of the day was the Fusion dance. The Annual Day program ended with a singing of the National Anthem.
