Part of GBC's International Day of Persons with Disabilities initiatives.
Join Ishaa during the International Day of Disabilities to explore various dance styles, such as Latin dance rhythms in a ‘Zumba’ style, and explore beats. Dance styles will include Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba. Folk Dances of India, such as the North Indian Bhangra (From the state of Punjab), Ghoomar (Rajasthan), and Gujarati folk music, will also be utilized. We will be using a combination of Bollywood and Pop Music for the classes.
Ishaa (she/her) holds a degree in Performing Arts in the North Indian Classical Dance form of Kathak. She is also a trained Latin dancer and has previously participated in national-level dance competitions. She has also performed in India, Germany, Spain, and Canada. After moving to Toronto, her focus as an artist shifted from that of a Dancer to an Early Childhood Educator/Mental Health Advocate and Author (Memoir titled #FindingOrderinDisorder).
She finds that utilizing her dance form served as a catharsis in the form of Dance Movement and Therapy. It took her into a peaceful state of mind, and this is exactly what she desires to share with the community.
