Celebrating traditions has becoming increasingly popular in India, and many are choosing to learn traditional Hindu dance, instead of ballet, jazz, or hip hop.

Everyone is getting in on the fun, from pre-teens to surgeons to marketing managers, while reasons for enrolling can vary, depending on the person.

Many Indians want to learn traditional Hindu dance because they believe it will give them happiness and spiritual comfort. While some high-school students take part in the exercises in order to write it down on their college applications.
