Express yourself through dance | Banjara School of Dance | TEDxGatewayWomen

The word Banjara translates to gypsy - a word given to travellers who lead a nomadic lifestlye. Somewhere,every artist is a gypsy - always searching for more, an inspiration, a story. A note in the soul of every human being is an artist - searching for what's beautiful, what's aesthetic. We're all gypsies - our mind wanders to the sea or mountains when life gets too full of itself.

Meher Malik is proud to present the Banjara School of Dance, an intiative to bring together different dancers from different styles and cultures of dance.
Banjara is not merely a dance company but an artistic shelter where different minds,bodies and souls will meet to create higher and greater levels of dance in this country.

I think the biggest achievement of a teacher is when you can't distinguish between who is the student and who is the teacher. So well done Meher ma'am 🙌

Hotel California gets an ultimate tribute through this fusion of Belly Dance and Odissi. Jaw-dropping creativity that makes you question the boundaries of co-existence and wonder at the marvel of passionate expression. Immense respect for Meher Malik and Banjara School of Dance for raising the benchmark and surpassing it just as well, every time. I am in awe of this wave of change you are bringing to the perception of belly dance in the most unconventional ways.

I got navigated to this video when I was listening to the my favorite hotel California.
U girls executed it so beautifully. The song and the dance was in complete sync. Whoever choreographed this song has a good taste and knows how to grab audience's attention. Wish I was in the live show to watch this. I would have asked for once more. Keep up ur work girls. Best wishes from United States
