Dubai: The Sankeerna School of Dance (Dubai) is all geared up to celebrate their eighth anniversary at Creek Park Children’s City Auditorium on Saturday, December 14. Founded by the renowned Bharatanatyam exponent Guru Vidhushi Sapna Kiran, this institute is well-known to have trained many Kannadigas in the pure Bharatanatyam style of dance form for over several years.

The Sankeerna School of Dance was set up eight years ago by Guru Vidushi Sapna Kiran to promote this beautiful art form on foreign shores. With the beautiful, diverse, and open atmosphere provided by the leadership of the UAE, the school has since then attracted students of all ages from all over India.

Distinguished guest Guru Vidhushi Suma Laxminarayan (a Senior Carnatic Vocalist Teacher who has trained several students for over 3 decades in Dubai) will be attending the programme along with Poet and Theater Director Prakash Rao Payyar as well as Film Producer and Social Activist Shodhan Prasad.

Every year, Sankeerna celebrates their annual programmes with dance performances put by their trained students. This year, Sankeerna will be showcasing a performance based on the theme “Aham Brahmasmi”. This theme explores the concept of oneness with the universe. By taking a unique approach to the theme, the dance team will be putting forward the quintessential version of the ‘Supreme’ to depict this concept; the holy trinity of Hindu mythology Lords Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara. The 2-hour long event will bring to the stage dancers of all ages depicting various interpretations of the three supreme commanders, the Creator, the Preserver, and the Destroyer. As oneness with the universe necessitates a unique understanding of self and God, Team Sankeerna hopes to bring to the stage the unique connection that man has with the Supreme power through dances praising the various facets of these 3 deities.

Ranging from traditional margam items (such as Alarrippu, Shabdam, and Keerthanam) to more contemporary dances, folk items, and dance drama, the evening will have something for everyone. Each of the newcomer and senior students will feature in dances that have been choreographed to showcase their learning and skill on the stage.
