A handful of almonds daily has helped me stay healthy and active as a dancer. If you are looking for a healthy snack, I would recommend adding almonds to your daily diet.

A few pictures from my performance in Tallinn two weeks ago.
Many years ago, when I was about 12 years old, I was attending a workshop with CVC mama. Workshops left huge impressions on me at that age and it impacted my practice. A few words made a big difference to me. No repetition or continuous correction was necessary. I was so hungry to learn that I latched onto every word that was said by any teacher. I would analyse repeatedly and try to implement whatever was spoken.
He said “there are no bad photos, only bad dancers. Whenever a photograph is taken, even if it is mid movement, it must look coherent” it may seem like such a simple thing to say.
But it made so much sense to me that I began to think of transitions and weight shifts and how my arms moved for so many many years afterwards. I can’t actually say that I’m happy with every photograph even now, but there’s definitely been a lot of progress because of this analysis.
It’s important as students of dance to remember that a teacher is a guide, and the work must be done by you at the end of the day.
Also, no learning is too small. Everything is important, so never close your mind to anything that is offered.
Performance was hosted by @amrita.stuudio ♥️

I love dancing when I have real people playing the music in the same space. I can’t explain why it’s so much better…. But it is!
After a few weeks off from performing, I’ll be on stage again on the 15th of May ,
First rehearsal is always a lot of stop and go, but thought I’d share some imperfect parts as well. This is the process. Will be much much better by the time we are on stage 😊

“Body memory” is something that everyone who trains with their bodies is familiar with. It’s the capacity to form muscular memory for movement, such that your body just remembers to go to a certain place or position without any pointers or reminders. Sports people rely on this to respond quickly and dancers depend on this to ‘finally begin dancing’!
It’s a funny thing to point out that ‘dancing’ doesn’t really begin in any classical form that is rooted in aesthetic, until this ‘body memory’ is developed.
One can only get this memory from repetition. And not repetition of 2 or 3 times , but mindful precise repetition that is done 1000s of times.
Freedom comes later…. Immersion, thoughtful movement and practice come first.
Just my thoughts for today…
I had a great workshop in Singapore this morning! Looking forward to some fun movement tomorrow.

There are some things that I’ve never spoken about. But as a majority of representations on social media are not reflective of many “real” things, I wanted to start talking about #wellness as a whole. It’s not easy to share and be vulnerable on a big platform like this. But I realise that there are many young girls going through problems of self acceptance. Many deal with esteem issues. If sharing my own insecurities, and my process of overcoming some of these problems will help others, I wanted to start doing that.
I am going to keep most of this content on my @ruks_wellness page. Since my @dancerukmini page deals with my performance work primarily.
There will be a lot on the body, inner growth, spiritual development, and learning to live wholesome life. It’s not like I’ve figured everything out. I’ve been learning about my place in this world, and am hoping to share some things that have helped me… with all of you.
