Rupsa Bhattacharya, a waacker from Kolkata, representing Calcutta Waack Pack Crew, India's first waacking crew talks about how she overcame her introvert nature and came to be known as one of the most confident dancers in the country.
We also delve upon how brands and brand managers mistreat artists and underpay them. Something that needs to stop. Dancers deserve the same respect as any famous actor or singer or rapper. Just because we dance behind them doesn't mean that we actually are behind them.

Take a break when your body, your brain demands for it. It is important, especially, in our field of work.
Also, as I recorded and uploaded this episode, I got a message that (on the business side of my life) we just cracked the biggest deal till date. I can't name the brand because protocols... but it is a well known brand and you probably use it's product. I am very happy and thus I wanted to share this with you. Thank you for all the support you show me. This means the world to me. Whenever I talk into the mic I feel so good. I feel like you are just right here. Thank you so very much and I will be back soon with more exciting stuff in Season 3. Take Care.
Rakesh Tiwary's Jinke Sapne Toote Hai:
Suno mai jaanta hu ki tumhe apni baaton me naseehat me uljhane ayenge
Tumhe samajhne wale tumhe samjhane ayenge
Kahenge mere meet, zindagi hai har aur jeet, ye to bas ek jua hai.
Tum hi nahi ho jiske sath ye sab hua hai.
Tum hi nahi ho jisne saalo tak kisi khwaab ko sanjhoya hai.
Unhe maaf karna dost. Wo nahi jaante ki tumne kya khoya hai.
Koi samajhta q nahi mujhe? Har baar ek hi rona hai.
Aur ye keh kar humne har rishta khoya hai.
Kabhi maa se uchi awaz me baat ki hai to kabhi pita se zabaan ladaya hai
Wo jo rishta humne khud bnaya tha na, unn dosto ko bhi khud hi gawaya hai.
Bhai, behen se ab baat nahi hoti, rishtedaaro ko dekh kar muh fer lete hai.
Aur jb bohot ho jata hai na tab bas basta lete hai aur nikl lete hai.
Koi samajhta q nahi mujhe?
Kya ye meri galti hai ki maine apne sapno ko sabse bada darza diya.
Tumse toh ho nahi paya, maine khud ko waqt ka karza diya hai.
Mujhe malum hai ki mai gussa karta hu, par wo mera gussa nahi hai.
Dard hai. Dukh hai. Rona hai par rone ko kandha nahi hai.
Dekho tum sahi ho. Tum parwaah karte ho. Mujhe baakhoobi khabar hai.
Magar ye raasta mera hai aur iski manzil meri kabar hai.
Kuch zyada nahi mang raha bas mere khilaaf kuch mat kehna.
Mai jab giru, tootu, toh uthane mat ana, bas sath me khade rehna.
Qki hausla toh pahaho ko kaatne ka bhi h mujhe.
Bas kabhi kabhi bikhar jata hu. Tab lgta hai… Koi samajhta q nahi mujhe?
Organizing workshops/classes is one the best ways to make money in the field of dance or any art. But organizing takes a heck lot of time and effort. It requires you to learn different skills altogether. In today's episode Akash Chouhan, the founder of Project Pay as You Wish, has shared how he started this project from scratch and built it to the level that we all now know. Listen to his pointers, understand and apply the learning in your life to level up in your life.

This episode is special because it is about a dancer who is also an entrepreneur. Jayanta Samaddar, the founder and CEO of Kollab, the Artist Clothing brand, has shed some light about what it has been like being an entrepreneur and an artist at the same time. I hope this inspires an up and coming artist and instills in him/her the passion that is required to be an entrepreneur.

We all can related to the problems caused by the disorganization and the unregulated manner doing things in the underground scene. While in the recent past the number of underground artists and the number of events have increased, the quality hasn't. In fact, it has worsened. Somebody needs to check that. Somebody needs to call out all of those people who are intentionally or intentionally exploited the artists. And such a job has been taken up by Hip Hop Network.
HHN (Hip-Hop Network) is a body/entity that covers different events happening in the Underground scene. They appreciate the good and callout the bad. They make sure that the truth is brought forward, and that no one ever falls prey to the same scam again. Kudos to HHN for taking this initiative.

The Style is named Memphis Jookin'. You may have heard of it or seen it somewhere over the internet because the style has been breaking the Internet for a long time now. I shall not bore you with my loooong essay over Jookin' because teh truth is I am not the best person to talk about it. The best person is Imaganimatrix. The 21 year old has been doing it for almost 9 years now and has definitely mastered the art in my opinion. Listen to the full podcast to learn about this amazing style.

The whole nation has such diversity in cultural and lifestyle practices, and dance is no exception to it. There are so many dance styles and cultures that prevail in India. One of them is Latin Dance that makes up quite a large portion of the Dance Industry Economy (pretty new term right?). Thus, I am bringing you a thousand feet overview of what the Latin Dance Culture in India looks like with the amazingly talented Soma Subedi. She have been doing salsa for almost a decade now and is a very respected name in the Latin Scene of India. Hope this inspires and helps someone.

Since the aim of the channel is to make dancers wealthy and stable in life, I believe that it is my utmost duty to educate you regarding what to do with your money as well. TAXES, if not taken care of, can just make you lose a lot of money that you have earned through pouring your blood, sweat and tears. Some of our topics of discussion in this episodes are:
WHAT IS INCOME TAX?
WHAT IS INCOMETAX RETURN?
WHO CAN FIL AN ITR?
WHO SHOULD FILE AND ITR?
WHY AND HOW SHOULD FILE AND ITR?
BENEFITS OF ITR
and so much more.
Taxes are of different types and all of them deserve an episode of their own. And more episodes will be coming educating you about taxes. For any other question/doubt, feel free to DM Usha and Myself on Instagram.

Periods is kind of a taboo topic to speak about even in 2021, I believe. We get so uncomfortable whenever that comes up but what we need to understand is that periods is a natural biological process that every female goes through. And for that same reason there must be measures, especially in the performing arts sector, that should be taken to help all of your female co-mates.
The podcast discusses how the patriarchy affects the whole dance scene of India. Also we have discussed a few small steps taht could be taken by you and I to better the prevailing condition. I hope you learn a lot from this.

Dance has not been a traditional profession in India and hence finding mentors or any sort of guidance has been near impossible for dancers. On top of that people find it hard to talk and ask question to a senior dancer regarding how can then make money or more aptly, make a living out of dancing.
BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE ANYMORE!
So, I've got Bboy True1, who has laid down pretty simple to follow steps to be able to earn money and ultimately build a career around dancing and do this your entire life. I hope this helps you get more clarity on what is important in your (dance) life. And I hope you make lots and lots of money.

A lot of people might just not be aware of it but Travelling is a part of hip-hop culture and a crucial one. Travel plays a big role in the journey of any dancer's life. And I must tell you that it was because the dancers were travelling back in the days that the movement and the culture was able to spread worldwide and you and I were able to learn about this artform. And this is just one reason why travelling is important.
In today's episode, Lokesh aka Rexis and I have discussed on how at the age of 20, Rexis funds his travels and also some fun experiences that he has had in the past because he was travelling. I hope this helps you understand how important travelling is and what it teaches.

Dance is an art? Dance is a sport? Or Dance is an expression of self? So many questions you can't say a 100% yes or a 100% no.
In this episode of ShapeYourSunday with Gagan aka Lyrictron, we have discussed the importance of self expression in our dance. Also, if you want then how can you express yourself better. It's a topic of thoughtful discussion and a lot of it has to do with mindset and self awareness. I hope this podcast helps you understand yourself better and find your inner self.
