New to Zumba? 5 Things to Know Before You Kick-Start Your Fitness Journey...

Zumba is akin to a workout party. Albeit a healthy one. It has an uncanny resemblance to a dance floor and is quickly becoming the most popular form of workout. It is an intense cardio workout that is effective in burning calories, sculpting muscles and toning your arms- all at once. And what is even more exciting is the fact that like other workouts; monotony will never turn you off. The focus lies on one solo front- burning calories while having fun!

Hydrate and nourish Remember to charge up your body for the workout. Pre and post-Zumba nutrition is an important aspect to focus on. Hydration helps avoid cramps in the legs and food keeps you energized. It contains proteins and essential nutrients that prevent muscle breakdown, keeping them strong and flexed while you dance.

Results take time

It is assumed that Zumba being a rigorous exercise regime helps you attain results faster. However, expecting a drastic result in your weight or muscle toning is unrealistic. Like every other form of workout, Zumba is also a process that requires dedication and persistence.

It is for everyone

Do you have to be good at dancing to keep up? No. Even if you have two left feet, Zumba can still be your thing. It is not about being a good dancer. Zumba moves are easy and adaptable. The class is a very inclusive space and there is no age bar or prerequisite skill required. Remember the rule of ABCD- Any Body Can Do.

Focus on comfortable clothing

Think side-to-side movements and pivots when we say Zumba. Easy to move in outfits are most crucial when it comes to this fitness form. Moreover, your clothes must be lightweight and help with excessive sweating challenges. Lastly, do not forget to pick a pair of kicks that support the moves. Dance sneakers or cross trainers are the best picks for Zumba.

Know the foods you can and cannot eat

Proper diet and nutrition top the list of any fitness program. Without that, Zumba can easily cause weakness and exhaustion during your workout. Consider the dos and don’ts of food consumption when you opt for Zumba. Go for diets rich in carbohydrates but low in fat.

Zumba is not a goal and neither is it a competition. It is more to do with enjoying the journey toward fitness. And this interesting and exhilarating fitness training can have healthy add-ons such as nutritious snacking options.

Cheers to a fitter, happier and tastier life!

निरहुआ संग इतिहास रचकर पवन सिंह से जुड़ी जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स, “सिंह इज फायर” की शूटिंग चल रही है नेपाल में।...

भोजपुरी फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री की मौजूदा कद ऊँचा करने में अपनी अहम योगदान दे रही फिल्म प्रोडक्शन हाउस जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर ने नई इतिहास रच दिया है। जहाँ किसी बड़े सुपरस्टार के साथ एक या दो फ़िल्म बनाना किसी फिल्म निर्माता के लिए बड़ी बात होती है, वहीं फ़िल्म निर्माता उमा शंकर प्रसाद ने जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर के तले एक या दो नहीं बल्कि नया इतिहास रचते हुए बैक टू बैक लगातार तीन भोजपुरी फिल्मों की शूटिंग सांसद व जुबली स्टार दिनेश लाल यादव निरहुआ के साथ पिछले महीनों ही पूरा किया है। उन तीनों भोजपुरी फिल्मों में निरहुआ के साथ यूट्यूब क्वीन करोड़ों दिलों की धड़कन आम्रपाली दूबे, प्रियंका रेवड़ी, नीलम गिरी, सुदीक्षा कुमारी ने शानदार अभिनय किया है।

गौरतलब है कि इसके पहले जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स ने भोजपुरी सिनेमा के पावर स्टार व रिकॉर्ड मशीन पवन सिंह का इस साल का सबसे बड़ा हिट गाना ‘आ जईहा 5 के चल जईहा नाच के’ का निर्माण किया। जिसके अपार सफलता के बाद अब पवन सिंह के साथ जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर के तले एक से बढ़कर फिल्म व गाने लेकर आने वाले हैं। इसी कड़ी में पवन सिंह इन दिनों नेपाल की मनोरम वादियों में भोजपुरी फिल्म “सिंह इज फायर” की शूटिंग कर रहे हैं। इस फिल्म में पवन सिंह किरदार काफी अलग और चैलेंज से भरपूर है। इस फिल्म में पवन सिंह की आवाज में कई बेहतरीन गाने भी सुनने को मिलेगा। भव्य पैमाने पर निर्मित की जा रही इस फिल्म का नया विषय दर्शकों का खूब मनोरंजन करने वाला है। यह फ़िल्म हर वर्ग दर्शकों को ध्यान रखकर बनाई जा रही है। फ़िल्म की स्टोरी के अनुसार एक से बढ़कर एक रिच लोकेशन का चयन किया गया है, ताकि रुपहले परदे पर फ़िल्म की भव्यता दिखे। गानों का फिल्मांकन हरी भरी वादियों व मनमोहक स्थलों पर किया जा रहा है।

इस फिल्म के निर्माता उमा शंकर प्रसाद ने बताया कि अब हमारी कंपनी जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स से पवन सिंह के साथ सिंह इज फायर की शूटिंग कम्प्लीट की ओर अग्रसर है। इसके बाद हमारी कंपनी पवन सिंह को ही लेकर दूसरी फ़िल्म का निर्माण बहुत जल्द करने जा रही है।

उल्लेखनीय है कि जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर के तले निर्मित की जा रही भोजपुरी फ़िल्म “सिंह इज फायर” में केंद्रीय भूमिका में पवन सिंह हैं। उनकी नायिका एक्ट्रेस आकांक्षा दूबे हैं। उनकी फ्रेश केमेस्ट्री दर्शकों को खूब पसंद आने वाली है। इस फ़िल्म के प्रोड्यूसर उमा शंकर प्रसाद हैं, जिनका उद्देश्य है भोजपुरी सिनेमा को एक नई ऊंचाई प्रदान करना। वे बड़ी सोच के साथ बड़े कैनवास पर भोजपुरी फ़िल्म का निर्माण करते हैं। को-प्रोड्यूसर आयुष राज गुप्ता हैं, जो जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर के प्रति पूर्णतः समर्पित हैं। इस फिल्म के निर्देशन की बागडोर डायरेक्टर मनोज नारायण संभाल रहे हैं, जिन्होंने विगत कई वर्षों से लगातार कई सुपरहिट फिल्मों का निर्देशन व मेकिंग किया है। यह कह सकते हैं कि जब इतने सारे मजबूत पिलर एक साथ काम कर रहे हैं तो भोजपुरी सिनेमा ग्राफ यह बैनर जरूर ऊंचाई पर ले जाएगा।

विदित हो कि भोजपुरी फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री में अपनी अहम योगदान दे रही फिल्म प्रोडक्शन हाउस जेपी स्टार पिक्चर्स बैनर जब भी कोई फ़िल्म या गानों का निर्माण करती है तो वह एक छाप छोड़ती हैं। इस बैनर तले जो भी प्रोजेक्ट बनता है तो उसकी मेकिंग में कितना भी ज्यादा खर्च हो जाय, पीछे नहीं हटते हैं सिर्फ यह सोच होती जो भी बने उसका लेबल बड़ा होना चाहिए। उम्मीद है कि निर्माणाधीन फ़िल्म “सिंह इज फायर” दर्शकों की उम्मीद पर खरा उतरेगी और फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री को एक बेहतरीन सिनेमा प्रदान करेगी। यह कंपनी इसके पहले सुपरस्टार खेसारी लाल यादव के साथ सुपरहिट भोजपुरी फिल्म ‘भाग खेसारी भाग’ का निर्माण कर चुकी है।

CATALYST AT EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE NCPA – celebrates choreographies from Lockdown...

ON July 21’2022

Pics by Madhusudan S. Menon – Dance and Music Photography  – Menon

An evening celebrating choreographies born during lockdown was presented by the prestigious NCPA ,Mumbai  under CATALYSTon July 21’2022 , with Kuchipudi by Parvathy Menon, Odissi by Mitali Varadkar & Shreya Sabharwal and Kathak by Sanjukta Sinha & troupe

The national lockdown had worked as a catalyst that had ‘sown seeds of new knowledge and forced artistes to start thinking out of the box to create work never thought of before’  .

The evening showcased live performances by artists who had redesigned a choreography that was originally shot in their individual spaces.

The   evening commenced with the solo Kuchipudi performance by Parvathy Menon,   whom  Ms SwapnokalpaDasgupta  – Programme Head – Dance NCPA ,  introduced as the ‘Bahu of Mumbai ‘ as she is the daughter -in-law of the celebrated & renowned Exponent, Mentor, Choreographer, Curator Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra.

  

Parvathy Menon

Parvathy Menon,  is one among  the senior disciples of the renowned Guru Kalamandalam Mohana Thulasi and veteran A.B. Bala Kondala Rao. She presented Jyothirgamaya – Towards light ‘   highlighting the   inner  awakening  vital to transcend the flux of life, through  the persona of Devaki  – Mother of Lord Krishna  .  The four walls of her prison – Karagriha,   akin to each human heart suffocating within four walls during the lockdown  and threatened by   the COVID Virus-  as insensitive as the negativity incarnate in the form of ‘Kamsa..  The fleeting  vision covering his entire life ,  accorded unto  Devaki  and Vasudeva by  Lord Krishna,  from his leelas at Gokul to the battle field at kurukshetra,   highlighted the vital  message   to all mankind  to  anchor in the merciful Lord, with that faith  vital to transcend every waiting trial in a causal world. Endowed with a very expressive countenance, the graceful dancer Parvathy, mirrored the anxiety of Mother Devaki as she gives birth. Her wide eyes reflected Devaki’s disbelief   and dismay, as the Lord   accorded the fleeting vision of what his  life would gather at Gokulam  ! The dancer skillfully used the charanam  Chinni Krishna rara nanu palimpa of the  Attana varnam in  Adi tala. by Composer: Turaiyur Rajagopala Sharma and highlighted the transitions in Krishna’s life effectively. One only wished that she had balanced the nritta aspect strategically so as not to have it break the flowing sequence   towards the dramatic climax   that she was creating.  Instead of the otherwise still and movement sequences that the vocalist and dancer resorts to, in a live kuchipudi performance, she could have worked out the dramatic climax with the energized aesthetics of Kuchipudi, having   nritta and nrittya bringing to life the battle scene  of Kurukshetra, with the dramatic vision of the divine opulence accorded by the Lord unto Arjuna , etched and reflected in Devaki’s eyes. The heart of a Mother  who gathers her child with a mixed anxiety of all that is to follow and  her  very  motherhood that embraced its effulgence !  The segment set the prelude to the duet sheathed in Odissi by disciples of renowned Guru Shubhada Varadkar

Mitali  Varadkar & Shreya Sabharwal

The two talented disciples of renowned Odissi Exponent and Guru Shub hada Varadkar – Mitali  Varadkar & Shreya Sabharwal   began their segment  with  Ram bhajan –  _Ran jiti ram rahu aaye_Ram bhajan from Tulsi Ramayan. followed by the pure dance through the  Jhinjhoti pallavi and concluded with the  beautiful composition  by seer composer Adi Shankara  -Shive shrungara_ with Mahishasurmardini , The choreography  of all pieces was by  their mentor, Smt Shubhada Varadkar.The movements were well co- ordinated and synchronized . However one   wished   that the young dancers paid more attention to the beautiful aspects of the dance form with more oneness and sensitivity .The nritta  aspect of Odissi   is a visual poetry with  with  arcs, lines of arms,  graceful tilting of shoulders and one longed for a deeper  visual impact through the obvious talent within them  !

Endearing as they were, in their breathless highlighting of each item inculcated during the lock down, one sincerely  wished that they also cultivated the art of controlled breathing as they held sensitive mikes  in their hands and sought to share the experience of imbibing each item  iduring the two year trial of the lockdown!,   . Small connects make a performance memorable else one remembers all that is not dance.  Youngsters should also become aware of an aesthetics that highlights a poise in every movement of a dancer on stage,   to have them emerge as artistic practitioners of their styles.

Sanjukta Sinha  dance Company

The finale was truly the  befitting  climax of the evening   by.Sanjukta Sinha  dance Company . Sanjukta is among those Indian Dancers, who through the synergy of the classical with modern vocabulary have been impacting not only Indian but the International audience as well. The thought given to every aspect of the presentation was quite evident in its defining professionalism.   The meticulously choreographed light designing   had the space transform to the energized defining of Mahadeo or caress the longing within the jeeva for Krishna or draw attention to the silence and sound  threading every dancing feet , leading to the climax with  the final discarding of the material by the jeeva for the  surrender that is bliss in the conluding piece.

The performance was marked by the practised co- ordination between dancers with  the  ongoing climax  in every piece until the silence that marked the last piece- where even gingroos were abandoned,  highlighted the  blissful potent  aesthetics of dance – the consummate oneness of the body that is dust transforming to energised dust .that is light  !

Sometimes in the overt concentration on the aim to impress, as is happening in the dance scenario  all around and drawing attention to the personality executing it, one’s soul  feels the need to be stirred, to be moved to be overwhelmed by what is sought to be expressed than what is created  to impress !    Nevertheless the evening was a memorable one that had one gather  the sincere commitment in young and serious practitioners  a pristine foil to the more  professional approach.

Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra – post performance discussion

The post – performance discussion was  one can say the cherry on the cake with the renowned & celebrated  Bharata Natyam- Guru, Exponent , Choreographer ,Curator  Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra    taking on the stage  with a directed discussion on the impact of covid on dance and dancers . With her inimitable, intimate style she led the discussion through  humour , life quotes , her experience  lauding the spirit of humanity which as she put it could  be ‘destroyed  but never defeated !

Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra

Kalashri Dr Lata Surendra summed the potency of classical dance forms with –  ‘as dancers we have always been part of the virtual- translating the tangible to the  intangible . The potent  fourth dimension  is what dancers are always seeking  and leading rasikas to through their ornate aharyas that they have the audience forget in their virtual weaving of a theme and therefore  this new age virtual world is nothing new for us’
