  2. Dance is an art that has been around for centuries. Divyanjali Dance Academy came across this song; they wanted to create something unique with their students. Since I am also learning dance at Geethalayam Bharatanatyam, I can understand the difficulties they must have undergone. I sincerely congratulate them for having managed to organize such a wonderful virtual treat during this lockdown.
