'Sapnay' is one of the biggest Bollywood dance companies in the UK.  This year at MOVE IT, the biggest dance showcase event in London took place at ExCel London, Sapnay brought a jaw-dropping performance, something completely new and very innovative. Breaking away from the assumptions that Bollywood dance steps are not just "changing the light bulbs" and "patting the dog" kind of steps, Sapnay made the audience rise with a powerful and energetic performance.

This was a completely new experience for me. Though I had a media pass from MOVE IT, I really had to struggle to make my way to the photographers space amidst thousands of enthusiastic dancers. When I got to the photographers space, it didn't get any easier. As a photography student, to get a spot with a good view in the pit alongside a number of professional photographers was a little intimidating. But I definitely didn't want to miss this huge opportunity. Breaking my inhibitions, I requested another photographer if he could move a bit to make some space for me. The kind man did. And I thought to myself 'phew, that wasn't too hard now, was it?!'

All went well, and thanks to my collaboration with Sapnay I had the opportunity to photograph Sapnay and many other dance performances at MOVE IT 2016.
