DanceSport is a captivating sport that has drawn people all over the world in to its fascinating and tantalising orbit. It is now an international sport that has never been presented in India, and is now being showcased for you by Dr Priti Gupta and Shannon Benjamin.

Their endeavour Dance Sport India does not only represent those who are highly passionate about competitive dancing but also entertain the fun loving and light hearted who truly define social dancing. Shannon and Priti are today popularly known as India’s Golden Couple in the field of DanceSport. The overwhelming choreography and effortlessly graceful steps really gives them a one up stance on any other Latin Duo in India.

Priti, a physiotherapist by profession, and Shannon an IT brain, were infatuated by DanceSport in 2006, and ever since they haven’t looked back. Having competed in Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, etc they are steadily improving with their international rankings.

DanceSport India was established in 2008 by the duo, and within a year is one of the best DanceSport Schools in India. The couple made history for India by being the first Indian Couple to participate in the International Dancesport Federation World Latin Championship held in Singapore in the year 2006. Taken by force with the spirit for DanceSport, Shannon and Priti have actively been promoting DanceSport all over India, but particularly in Maharashtra, since they are currently a part of the local governing body – DanceSport Association of Maharashtra which is affiliated with the All India DanceSport Federation.

As the duo say, “ DanceSport is not a profession, but is a passion.”

What is Dance/Movement therapy?
Dance therapy is the use of dance movements to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of a person. The dance therapist believes that the body and mind are connected, thus the state of the body may affect mental and emotional health. Dance therapists improve their clients’ wellbeing through this connection, observing movement to diagnose and prevent potential and existing health issues.

How is a movement therapy class different from a regular dance class?
Movement comes from the participants and is very different from a conventional dance class where choreographed movement is taught. Although some dance instructors call themselves therapists, dance instruction is in fact quite the opposite of what dance therapists would do in a session.
By getting people to express themselves through movement, dance therapy develops muscle co-ordination and mobility while improving self-awareness and interpersonal interaction. While dance therapists are responsible for preventive health by observing and altering movements, retraining muscles and diagnosing movement challenges, they also help solve various physical and psychological problems for those recovering from illness, or dealing with physical, emotional or mental challenges.

About Dilshad
As part of her training program at the Harkness Dance Centre in New York, Dilshad got an opportunity to observe and teach at various schools, colleges, psychiatric departments in hospitals and residential treatment centres for emotional and behavioural disorders. Dilshad was also awarded a scholarship to be part of a work-study program at the Garth Fagan Dance School in New York. Garth Fagan is famed for winning the Tony award for his choreography in the Broadway musical Lion King.
Dance has been an integral part of Dilshad’s life since the age of five. She trained in Bharat Natyam for 12 years, and was an instructor and performer with Shiamak Davar’s Institute for the performing Arts for 7 years.

While teaching dance to children infected with HIV, with hearing and visual impairments, and to orphans and juvenile delinquents, Dilshad learned about the challenges and rewards of counselling children with special needs. Wanting to do more with dance, movement and fitness, Dilshad moved to New York to pursue her education in the field of dance and movement therapy.
