"A Sikh man doing Kathak? Why not. I began dancing at 14, despite people questioning my identity, my masculinity, even my place in classical arts. Some days, the doubt felt heavier than my ghungroos. But I never stopped. Today, as a PhD student in the US, I dance to... show more

“Why would a Sikh boy choose Kathak?” For Asa Willoughby, the questions started when he was just 14, when he chose to learn Kathak. A year later, he began Bharatanatyam. People questioned his identity, his masculinity and whether classical dance was even meant for someone like him. There were days when those doubts felt heavier than his ghungroos. But Asa kept dancing. 17+ years later, as a PhD student in the US and active performer, he lets his art speak for itself. #IndianClassicalDance #DanceJourney #BreakingStereotypes #IndianCulture #DanceInspiration [Sikh Man Learning Kathak And Bharatanatyam, Men Breaking Stereotypes Through Classical Dance, Sikh Dancer In Indian Classical Arts, Asa Willoughby Dance Journey, Male Performers In Indian Classical Dance]

“A boy… doing Kathak?” At 13, Taranjot Singh from Ludhiana faced mockery for learning Kathak. But his parents and older brother had his back. His mother saw his talent; his father said, “Do whatever you love, with all your heart.” With their support and his teachers’ guidance, Taranjot became the boy who in a turban who gracefully broke stereotypes. Even COVID-19 brought challenges, but he never quit. After the lockdown, he auditioned for Dance Deewane, reached the finals, and shared the stage with dance legends. Today, he dreams of taking India to the global stage, inspiring anyone who dares to be different. Taranjot proves talent has no gender.

Govinda was once again seen dancing at a Dahi Handi event in Maharashtra this year. Many people are mocking him, saying he is doing it for money because his movies are no longer working. But according to my sources, Govinda is an active member of Shiv Sena, and the party has been using him for the last couple of years to attract people and the youth of Maharashtra. I don't understand what's wrong with dancing at a Dahi Handi event? It's better to dance at festivals than to dance for sheikhs in Dubai!!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS VIDEO….. After my family deleted me I was in a horrible spot in my mind. People on Anonup used their hearts to keep me here. In my relationship with my wife we fought a lot about religion. I always walked in faith but the things they did in church not only looked retarded to me but actually hurt my soul so I never backed down when we fought over it. I did not have words at the time to explain what my soul felt but then my brother Jason on Anonup DM’d me this video and a lot of things fell into place for me and explained why my soul had hurt for years. Religion is a man made cult….

DANCING ALERT: I have tried almost everything as an actor (Even learnt swimming at 68) and am still working on my craft! But I have deliberately stayed away from DANCING. Because I can’t dance. What you have seen me doing during my song sequences in films is my attempt to enjoy the situation. BUT last month I decided to LEARN dancing. And I did my first class last week! Then a couple of days back I met the great choreographer #Ceaser of #BoscoCeaser duo in a gym! And I told him about my dream. He first laughed and then taught me a difficult hook step just in 3mins. 🤓 So presenting my first ever dance video. अब देखते है क्या बोलते है #VickyKaushal हँसना नहीं! Encourage करना! Jai Ho! ❤️❤️❤️🕺 Vicky Kaushal #KuchBhiHoSaktaHo #GreatTeacher

Hugh Grant hated this dance scene in Love Actually. “I saw it in the script and thought ‘I’ll hate doing that’. No Englishman can dance when they’re sober at 8am in the morning.” He kept saying no, hoping the director would get tired, only to realize it was “a contractual guillotine.” “But I will give myself this credit…it was my idea to have that secretary lady catch me.”

So another year has passed, and I am officially 33 now. As I celebrate another year of life, I realise that Birthdays are not just about growing older; it is also an opportunity to pause, look back and reflect, and to express gratitude for the experiences and people who have taught us to be better and wiser. Since my last birthday, the journey had been rough, my parents are going through separation, and a lot of other negative things have happened as well. But I was also inspired by some furs that I admire and decided to try something completely new to me : Dance. As someone who has a partial permanent disability, and no prior experience, my body often feels tight, sore and painful when I dance. I often doubt myself when I’m in group dance classes as I couldn’t keep up with others who are much younger and more experienced than me. But despite that, for that short while each week, the noise faded away and I felt relieved from my depression. I felt happy. I felt alive. Balancing school, work, gym, and my newfound passion has also been challenging, but as long as my body can handle it, I’ll keep showing up and do my best. I’m almost done with my degree and will likely graduate before my next birthday. I still enjoy photography, making funny content and singing too, but I don’t feel confident of my skill yet to perform on stage. Going forward, I will continue taking care of my diet and physique. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to meet the amazing people like my dance coach Khloe, and recently, guest coach Dain, who both, despite my shortcomings, have always been patient and encouraged me to do better, and for the fans and others who always supported me and encouraged me with your kind words as well, I see and hear you as well. Thank you. I hope that I will continue to be blessed with the health, time and financial capability to keep learning and improving. Maybe it’s not too late for me to chase my dreams and turn my life into something meaningful. Happy Birthday, Fang. 🎨ワンワン🪐

Happy Anniversary!! 🎉🪩💃🩷 —Confessions on a Dance Floor ! Making the video for Hung Up was an incredibly joyful experience!! Not only because I was so excited about this record, but I had fallen off my horse 6 weeks before the shoot for the video. I had broken 9 bones in my body, including my collarbone , shoulder blade, and 6 ribs.!!With many prayers and lots of rehab. I somehow managed to make a video that celebrates Dance! I don’t even know how I lifted my left arm. Miracles do happen. 🙏🏼

3-13-13 I began my journey in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Throughout my entire journey in BJJ, I’ve learned more about myself than ever expected. The latest chapter in my BJJ path has been having my own students. It has been my great privilege and honor to teach Jamie Mathias and Jake Luhrs and Josh Middleton the martial art. Not only did these 3 people start off as musicians I look up to, but now I am so filled with joy that they’re close pals of mine. The blue belt is a tremendous deal - and Jamie without a doubt is an exemplary martial artist, musical artist, and friend who without a doubt deserved this promotion. Congratulations to one of my best pals on earth, Jamie!!

The PM has a sense of humour😏. While I have been focused on building the #RoadtoRecovery in Trelawny Northern, he had even bigger plans; despite the misguided certainty of my opposition. It is an honour not just to serve a second term as MP, but also to provide even greater service in the tourism industry. The backbencher seems to have caused quite a few major upsets in this place… Worries in the dance? 💃😎 #RoadtoRecovery #TrelawnyNorthern #TrelawnyJamaica #ChooseJamaica #TovaHamilton

Breaking🚨: The resignation of Indian Army Air Defense JCO Anurag Thakur has surfaced. He stated, "Our lives have no value. I lost 300 of my comrades, but the Indian government did not even acknowledge their deaths. In one year, more than three officers from my unit have resigned, and today, I am making this decision as well."

I feel jealous of the people who witnessed Chiranjeevi on the big screen in the 80s and early 90s. ───────────────────────── I still remember my first #Chiranjeevi movie on the big screen — #Master (1997) at Devi 70MM, Hyderabad. All his earlier movies, I watched only on TV. As I grew up, I watched every movie of his till his last release. Even today, when I catch one of his old songs on TV, I stop whatever I’m doing and just watch him dance. There’s a certain magic in 80s and 90s Chiranjeevi that I never fully realised in my childhood. Now, when I see him dance at the age of 70, it becomes even clearer how extraordinary his energy, grace, and style were in his 30s and 40s. His vintage dance numbers work on me like a spell — I get completely mesmerised. And this is just from watching them on TV. I can only imagine how fans must have felt witnessing that kind of unmatched dance and screen presence in theatres back then, especially at a time when no one else danced with that level of beauty, fluidity, and charisma. That’s why I genuinely feel jealous of the people who experienced the vintage Supreme Hero / Megastar era on the big screen. #MegastarChiranjeevi

Tom Holland reveals his biggest regret in life is giving up dancing after training 6 hours a day for 3 years Tom Holland: You know what I regret most in life is when I was in Billy Elliot when I was a kid, I was dancing every day for 6 hours for about 3 years, and I got to such a high level, and then I just gave up. And I quit dancing. So, I dance if I'm in a club, but I don't really go to dance classes anymore, so my biggest regret is giving up dancing. Q: Can you do, like, club-style dancing, or do you do kind of ballet? Tom Holland: I just do bar work. (Laughter) Tom Holland: Yeah. No, no, I mean I can dance, yeah. I like tap dancing. Tap dancing is my favorite type of dancing. Q: In the club? Tom Holland: Not in ,you wouldn't be able to hear it, would you? That'd be a nightmare.

I went to Enugu with nothing but a good heart, the desire to build, to uplift, to leave behind something greater than myself. Even when life tested me with an accident that almost broke me, I stayed, because commitment is not convenient, it is sacrifice. Today, I stand before you not as a perfect man, but as a man of truth. My only defense is my integrity, and my greatest witness is the work I have done. In the end, time will separate noise from truth. Until then, I remain steadfast, because my intentions were pure, and my conscience is clear.🙏🏽❤️

Bruno is a better player than Odegaard. But lets respect why Vidic left Man Utd. Vidic: "It was down to a lot of injuries I had in recent yrs. I left Utd because I felt I could no longer perform at the level I wanted. I knew my back couldn’t handle it."
