‘Breathe in…1, 2, 3, 4… now out …1, 2, 3, 4.’ Mayuka taught her dolls what she saw her mother, a psychologist, do often. After playtime, the 9-year-old busily punched the air, tapped her foot, twirled, and bent her knees… dance was her world! Her school’s annual day was coming up in two weeks. Mayuka was set to perform a group dance along with classmates from 4th standard first and later, a solo dance in the competition category. The girls prepared for the group dance with their class teacher. For her solo, she took help from Greta Miss, her dance teacher at the Dancing Stars studio near her home. Two weeks became one week and then soon enough Rainbow School’s annual day arrived. She was exhausted from the constant practice yet excited. ‘Welcome to Rainbow School’s Annual Day,’ read the banners everywhere. Mayuka walked into school chirpily with her mother. Since her father’s death a year ago, it was her mother who attended all her school events. Mayuka and her mom went to her classroom, buzzing with her dance pals. ‘Where’s my skirt?’ ‘Miss, my hairclips are missing.’ Ka-chik, ka-chik, selfies everywhere. Mayuka got ready quickly. Her mom gave her the usual good luck kiss. The dancers waited backstage as Miss Lily announced ‘Here come the dance champs of class 4!’ The audience clapped exuberantly before and after the dance.
