in Ritambhara Sahni's words

Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For ThePerforming Arts [ since 1996 ] was what i started with back then. Not many dance schools around that time. People were really only aware of ballroom dancing, Shaimak Davar and nothing else.
Dance itself was considered as a forbidden career and a female going out there to make a career for herself was also not accepted really.
But I am Ritambhara Sahni who does what her heart wants to back then and even as of today did and does exactly that . I always had the support of my father who always discouraged me from doing law and C.A and encouraged me to dance and persue performing arts which i would eat , breathe, sleep and repeat. My father assured me that i would never be persuing law and C.A even if i passed all the exams.[hahah..he was so right !!! ] . So after one year of passing law and one year of passing my CA foundation Course, i quit both and simply continued Ritambhara Sahni' s Institute For The Performing Arts which was allready going on really strong since 1996. I started to teach initially at my own house and started with teaching only females. i use to teach right from the time i was in school and because i had the intelligence and capability to teach back then , i encourage anyone at any age group to teach even today when i feel they know the techniques correctly . All you need is a positive heart and if you feel happy and accomplished after teaching someone, then you are are great teacher...be it anything.
This interview of mine was taken back then when i had so many centers across Mumbai and i had been running my institute for a good amount of years. I began Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For The Performing Arts {since 1996.} This is my interview on Zee News around that time when dance schools were very few and I was the first female to start a dance institute in Mumbai. My institute is featured along with my interview and with glimpses of Mr. Sandip Soparkar's and Mr. Shaimak Davar's school of dance as well. I, Ritambhara Sahni was not only the 1st female to start a complete western dance school in Mumbai but also the 1st female to teach old school Hip Hop [Popping and Locking ] and the new style hip hop back then. I was also the 1st female to bring belly dance to Mumbai and choreograph India's !st flash mob for Channel V. I, Ritambhara Sahni got belly dance to Mumbai and soon established Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni which has been going strong eversince 2005 along with my institute Ritambhara Sahni's Insitute For the Performing Arts.
