MANGALURU: Dancer and choreographer Pramod Alva credited Mandd Sobhann’s Nach Sobhann for shaping his career and stating that, “my dance career began with Mandd Sobhann’s Nach Sobhann. I spent eight years of my youth learning and performing Baila. While numerous institutions offer training in Western dance forms, mastering folk forms and Baila necessitates joining an institution like Mandd Sobhann, where one receives rigorous and disciplined training,” said Pramod Alva, a dancer and choreographer.
He was speaking at Kalangann during the inauguration of the ‘Baila-Hop Dance Training’ programme on Tuesday, symbolically commencing the event by unveiling anklets from beneath a bed of flowers and jingling them.
“Sumell, the singing troupe, and Kalakul repertory theatre are lively. Now, with the initiation of this training programme, Nach Sobhann has been revitalised. You need to put maximum effort and learn with discipline. Following the completion of this training, I encourage you to pursue further training and excel in the field of dance,” said Mandd Sobhann Gurkar Eric Ozario.
Nach Sobhann Leader Rahul Pinto provided a retrospective on the journey of Nach Sobhann and outlined the work plan for the Baila-Hop Training Programme. Mandd Sobhann President Louis Pinto was present.
The Baila-Hop Training Programme is an intensive 40-hour dance course, focusing on teaching Konkani Baila and Western Hip-Hop dance forms. Trainers will be conducting master classes, offering trainees opportunities to perform in stage shows, music nights, album videos, movies, and more.
