Dance is the most expressive form of art. It connects people together and makes them understand one’s emotions. Apart from numerous physical benefits, dance has the power to cure a lot of health problems. It is among the most tried and tested activities that help children become social and comfortable with peers.

With an aim of encouraging creative skill development among students, Global Indian International School (GIIS), Surat organized an Inter-House Dance competition for students of grades 1-10th. The competition was majorly categorized into two parts i.e. juniors (Grades 1-5) and seniors (Grades 5-10). Gracing the occasion as judges were Mr. Sanju Mevada (Dance Teacher, Nobel School) and Mr. Yash Gawai (Dance Academy owner, 7S Academy). Both of the judges invited are well known dance professionals and have been in the industry for years.

The competition kicked off with the customary Morning Prayer followed by an official welcome of the judges with flower bouquets. Excitement rolled as students from the junior and senior category showcased their bit one after the other. There were two types of categories for the students to participate i.e. solo and group dance. Our chief guest for the day, Mr. Sanju Mevada was ecstatic to see such great performances.

After a tough competition and various rounds of discussion, the results for the competition were declared. For junior and senior categories the result list was as follows:

The objective behind conducting this inter-house competition was to encourage maximum participation and to recreate the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play. This gave our students a chance to understand that in a competition, one wins and the other loses, and that is how the game goes on.
