Another episode by the lovely

Reshma Gajjar!

What did it take to become the first South Asian female commercial dancer in North America to tour and work with some of the world’s biggest artists (such as @madonna @justinbieber @ricky_martin & @arrahman to name a few) and to star in @theacademy award-winning films like @lalaland? Over the next two episodes, we have the incredible @reshmagajjar ‘in the house’. The Los Angeles-based dancer and actress shares her insights, experiences and thought processes on what helped her breakthrough and navigate a career in the world of commercial dance in a time when there was no South Asian visibility in the field. In Part 1 (this Sunday, April 21st), Reshma shares what it took to convince her #immigrantparents to support her on pursuing a dance career when they didn’t see a viable path, whether or not studying dance in college/university is helpful in starting a career in commercial dance, why getting “burnt out” was one of the best things that could have happened to her, trusting in #divinetiming, the value of reconnecting with your roots/motherland and the importance of giving back to your community.
