Learning a new skill and mastering it requires lot of dedication, effort, time, patience and most of all love. I got an opportunity to cover an event that showcased the talent of young dancers who learnt the art of Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam, two of the popular classical dances from India. These young dancers learnt and mastered the art here in US by spending time during the weekends.
