Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors I think the most successful people that I know are my parents. They have given up everything from their days in India and from their days in South Africa to give my sister and me everything that we have now. Its cliche but all the memories I am making and have made at UGA, all the memories I have made from high school, from dance, from sporting events, and everything in between is because of my parent's sacrifices and I couldn't thank them enough for what they did.

I was the tiny little girl all the way in the back stumbling through the dance moves, trying to keep up with the beat of the music and the fast paced steps. As uncoordinated as I was, I didn't have a care in the world for what was going on around me, and that's the reason I love to dance so much. It's so easy to immerse yourself into a whole different universe where nothing else matters besides you and your moves. Even now, after so many years have passed, I still feel like the little girl who wants nothing more than to just dance her heart out." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592cc5fe4b03f664866268b/1469021132116-1WM2XOLRDB2D6DJLC21I/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors "Often times, I see Dadima as the Queen from 'The Princess Diaries', and myself as Princess Mia - awkward and disoriented. The Queen shaped Mia into a lady, and I like to think that Dadima has done the same with me. She would tell me to sit with my legs crossed, as a poised young lady should. She would spray me with her millions of perfumes, and tease my hair with her glitters and hair sprays - things I have now learnt to do on my own. Dancing is something I picked up during her illness. It was a coping mechanism of sorts, a means to let out my frustrations as well as express what words couldn't. Dadima always loved the arts, whether it be singing, cooking, dancing - just about anything in that realm made her smile, and my picking up Indian dancing was something she was proud of. Dadima taught me many skills I was unaware I had up until recently; grace is a quality she always emphasized, and dancing is a form of grace, with its own added twists. She was my queen, and I aspire to be her princess - expressing the grace and elegance she taught me through dance." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592cc5fe4b03f664866268b/1469021271936-2X9S70ZQD4DH46ERP2NT/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors “I think expression is extremely important, whether it be through dance, music, writing, or anything else.

I took a leadership position on the eboard of my fraternity, was president of the raas team here on campus, took some of the hardest courses in my major to challenge myself, and even joined a separate raas team in Boston to go and get a taste of the circuit. One day, I was talking to one of my friends about how our respective lives were going, and he asks me, "How do you do it? You're a part of so many organizations, and it's not like you have and easy major either. How haven't you burnt out already?" Well, it's simple really. You just have to love everything. I know, it's cheesy, but if you honestly love every second of whatever it is that you're doing, then you'll feel like you're on top of the world. And hey, who doesn't love some cheese?" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592cc5fe4b03f664866268b/1469021932876-HVLEOHGT5K7F5VO8GMR4/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors "I am Hiren Patel, a sophomore at UCLA.

The reason how I got into it probably sounds cliché. What is that reason you may ask? Well to be honest, I did it to impress a girl. I joined a dance group with a bunch of my friends to put on a performance at our local cultural show. I was ready to own the stage and show everyone my dancing prowess. But quickly I realized the fault in my plans. There was not a single bone in my body that had rhythm, check my X-rays from then if you must. I was a terrible dancer and my thoughts about "woo-ing" with my dance skills quickly disappeared. Luckily for me, I was fortunate enough to have a group of friends who motivated me to keep going at it with some constructive criticism ranging from 'Oh my god what are you doing!' to 'Just stop now please.' All jokes aside, my friends made sure that I did not quit at dancing and spent a few hours with me trying to get me to learn choreography that might take some of you a few minutes to learn. I was definitely discouraged at first but as time went on I realized that I was getting better and I wasn't god awful anymore! Fast forward 5 years later to present time and dancing has taken over my life. I am currently a dancer on my collegiate Raas team, UVA HooRaas, the PR chair of River City Raas Board, and a DDN Ambassador. Dancing has brought me close to some of the greatest people I have known in my lifetime and opened up doors I never knew existed! I don't think dancing will ever come as easy to me or as natural to me as most of you guys reading this post. And I don't know why it took me so long to start dancing. But I do know that I'm glad that dancing has become such a huge part of my life and nothing will stop me from dancing my heart out (as terrible as it may look) and I can't wait for where dancing will take me next. p.s. I hope you like my 'mugshot'" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592cc5fe4b03f664866268b/1469450872783-CD72OIAT2O28LVFT0965/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors "I was painfully shy, growing up. I would go days without uttering more than a sentence. My parents and teachers tried everything they could to get me to feel more comfortable talking to others. I enrolled in musical theater. We performed ‘Horton Hears a Who.’ I played the who. I had one line. Next I enrolled in ballet. In the middle of the performance, I got nervous and curled up on stage, staying there until the show ended. But then, I started Bharatanatyam, and felt an immediate connection. The language spoken was universal, and my movements could tell my story. With different hand gestures —or hastas— I could show flowers, bees, the sun, and a multitude of different words. With different facial expressions— or abhinaya— I could express beauty, disgust, sadness, and more. One of my first performances was on national television, so I wasn't able to hide. It forced me to perform, and made me realize that I loved it. I kept on performing, exploring more dance styles and found an instant love for Bollywood. I discovered the competitive fusion circuit, and soon realized how insane all of us are. We put in so much time, money, and effort into one performance piece, and yet we all love doing it, because it means something to every one of us. Collectively, we have created an art form representative of many of our identities, as South Asians growing up in the US. The dance we do involves the intertwining of arts, culture, education, emotion, experience, and so much more. We each find something special from it, and its an amazing thing to be a part of."   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5592cc5fe4b03f664866268b/1469451196782-H2BBLEUP5TGXH4ZWODOT/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Project Spotlight: DDN Ambassadors "I have lived in New Jersey my whole life, within 30 mins of pretty much my whole family. These are the people that have supported me and pushed me to do what whatever I wanted to do in life. Looking around at all the success that my family and friends have achieved over the years has really pushed me to do bigger and better things and be the person I am today.

There are so many opportunities out there to delve into your passions. Once you do, the inevitable obstacles you run into will be worth it because you'd have it no other way. Each roadblock is awesome cause it'll just teach you more about yourself and what to do/what not to do towards whatever goal you have. I definitely have to give a shoutout to all the awesome people that have helped me never lose sight of myself.

The dance team is a non-profit organization run by hardworking, conscientious Drexel University undergraduate students. Since its foundation in 2005, DUB has been successfully offering its members a valuable life experience ranging from the development of active personalities and application of leadership skills to learning the actual dance.
