Pics/Sayyed Sameer AbediChoreographer Sumeet Nagdev, who heads the dance company, takes us around the spacious dance studio with mirrored walls and introduces us to the dancers. We are at the Sumeet Nagdev Dance Academy (SNDA) studio, where the company’s latest production, Dhrut (means speed) will bring together Contemporary, Breaking, Ballet and Kathak, synchronised with live music. In the video, each of the four dancers — Tejaswee Sontakke, Kiran Shenvi, Neeraj Lohani and Melanie Testa — share how the production has changed them both as dancers and people.
