Chai with Rai (Ep.12)- In conversation with Gairik Dutta Paul where we sat and discussed the dance culture in India. How Gairik's career in Dancehall began even though he trained in other styles.

We discussed the IDVP program at Danceworks and the culture of training camps. What privileges you gain from being a faculty member at The Big Dance Centre in India. We also dove deep into survival as a dancer in India. How unions and agencies have an unconventional method and to survive a lot of dancers predominantly end up teaching. How Bollywood can be blessing and a curse.

I had to also find out Gairik's recovery from his injury which prevented his passion to dance. Breaking down sexualisation of dancehall and how that fits into the dance culture in India. How he choreographs and what style/ vocabulary he mostly identifies his artistic voice with.
