Dehradun: Vibrations the Dance Studio was founded by Harshit Gupta and Abhinav Bhattacharya on April 25th, 2014. For the last eight years, Vibrations have done remarkable work in the field of dance. Vibrations started with a professional certified course summer batch in the year 2018 where participants were trained by different professional trainers from around the country.
This year also Vibrations organized “Groundwork”, a Certified Professional Dance & Theatre Training Program where “Aladdin,” the first-ever musical, produced by a dance studio in Dehradun was showcased with 80 participants in the Hari Singh Auditorium IGNFA (Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy) FRI Dehradun. This is the first time any dance studio has taken the step to train people in Dehradun for a musical theatrical performance that is open to anyone who is in the age group of 6 to 60.
This program helped Dehradun to increase their cultural perspective through the medium of formal professional training by professionally trained choreographers. Participants were trained for a month with over 10 dance styles; acting; stage management; show management; property, making; and a lot more artistic things that will be required to make a stage show. Along with this, it will be a great opportunity for participants to perform on stage with an unparalleled experience of elevating and professional training.
At the present challenging time, it is extremely urgent to engage society in the creative processes that will strengthen secular forces. This program will channelize the energy and focus of the people of Dehradun towards positive things.
Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGNFA) is an esteemed Academy that has always helped and motivated artists to come up with new ideas and possibilities to create an integrated society that will always stand together to promote and protect the heritage culture and artists of the state. IGNFA was kind enough to give their auditorium to us to perform this amassing play. We specially want to thank IGNFA’s Director Shri Bharat Jyoti sir, Additional Director Shri S.K Awasthi and Estate Offcier / Associate Professor Shri Kalunge Gorakh Waman Sir for their support.
