Academy of Creative Arts and Kids Dances
After presenting an engaging dance performance by kids at the Spring Wedding Expo earlier this year, the Academy of Creative Arts is returning with two performances– Sun Sathiya and Bajrangbali.
It will be the first time that her academy will bring contemporary style of dance by kids to Boston. Academy of Creative Arts is an arts school where more than different forms of creative and performing arts are taught under one roof. This particular dance is choreographed by two very talented instructors of the Academy: Shikha Bajpai and Dipal Anand. It’s a medley that combines contemporary and freelance dance styles. Sun Sathiya will be followed by a devotional song to “Bajrangbali” by kids. It’s time for Diwali, festival of lights, and destruction of evil. This dance form is freestyle.
