TR Dance Company is setting new goals for dancers in the city by setting up a live performance that showcases lesser-known dance forms such as tap, modern, ballet and jazz, with a unique twist. "Our show is dedicated to the music because music breathes life into dance. It's interesting to see how these forms were influenced by the quality, texture and rhythm of the music that gave birth to them. These four dance forms are decades old but relatively new in India," says co-founder Tanushree Dhaundiyal.

Highlighting that the element of music being played live makes the performance a conversation between the musicians and the choreographers, Dhaundiyal shares that the opening piece is more complex because the tempo can be slightly different each time and one has to listen to the music to do justice to it. "Improvisation is key," she says, adding, "The music speaks to the dancer and the dancer moves as a response. It's like talking to your best friend; it flows and you inspire each another."
