More Than Just a Dance Instructor — with Ajanta Chakraborty
Description
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ajanta Chakraborty, dance instructor and owner of Bollywood Groove & Culture Groove.
Together, we discuss the struggle to find a sense of place and belonging for multicultural individuals and how embracing other cultures can have a long-lasting, positive impact on society as a whole.
We also talk about:
- Supporting children’s well-being by helping them find excitement in their culture and learning to celebrate it
- Making space for cultural learning to reduce a fear-based view of the world
- Misconceptions about Bollywood, bellydancing, and camels
- The limiting nature of the word “should”
- Effort vs. impact and the importance of the 2x2 matrix
- Being a piece in a larger picture with others trying to make the same changes instead of taking it all on yourself
