“It’s important to bring perfection to your dance steps, but what is more important is to pour your heart and soul into dancing.......nothing else matters!!”
Mohit Dasaur…as a choreographer
It has been Mohit Dasaur’s motto...the Bollywood dancer, choreographer and co-founder of Jhankar the Rhythms, the talented dance group of Edmonton that created history at the 2012 Council of India awards fun
ction. His 17 member dance group rocked the Jubilee Auditorium stage by presenting the saga woven in music-dedicated to 100 years of Indian cinema. The audience of 2500 odd crowd went crazy as they kept on cheering this 30 minute fine musical performance that consisted of melodious music from yesteryears and the rocking dance sequences of today’s generation. Here is what some of the Jhankar The Rhythms team members want to say about Mohit:
Ruby Bhutani- You aim for perfection! Babitha Joseph- Your choreography skills are the best!! Steps match with the music~ :)
Shivani Modi- Best part: You are really a curious choreographer, an inspiration for the upcoming dancers. I learned how to be dedicated towards dancing from you....You take everyone's suggestions and come up with the best :) You work on both expressions as well as dance form….and expressions matter to you a lot unlike some teachers who focus on expressions just in the beginning and then make it a negligible matter. You are friendly to make it easier for our learning and your song collections are really fun to dance on :)
Blessy Joseph – You are really easy to approach and also add fun to practices. You also understand students’ weaknesses and strengths and try to incorporate the dance steps based on it. Anita Jose - Mohit, you are an amazingly talented choreographer! What makes you unique is your extreme passion for dance, 100% dedication and constant appreciation and words of encouragement for your students :):) And of course, hanging out with you is always loads of fun. So glad to be part of your dance team!!! Sonia Jose - FUN AND FRIENDLY... :)))) love your choreography... I was new to it but I loved being part of your team... definitely want to be part of your productions all the time
Mohit also choreographed and performed events like "14th Annual Unity in Diversity Celebration" in Alberta. He organized a Valentines Day “Ishq-Vishq 2010” show to showcase his talent and the dances taught by him to his students of all ages. The show was a huge success and was well appreciated. Mohit… as a dancer
Although Jhankar the Rhythms is his newest creation, he is not new to dancing. Mohit Dasaur has been dancing on stage for the past twenty years but truly started dancing when he was seven years old. Influenced by the great Bollywood stars such as Shahrukh Khan and Hritik Roshan, Mohit started mimicking their moves and perfected their dance sequences from their films. Dancing became a part of Mohit's daily life, his mantra, his workout. Without any formal training in dancing, he used to win all the inter-college competitions like the "Best western dance" held at Lyallpur Khalsa College, Jalandhar in 2005.
“Dance is the language without any word”
Mohit…As a teacher
It is his obsession, passion and natural talent for dance that inspired Mohit to start teaching dance to students of various age groups in Edmonton in 2006. He believes in diversity while teaching various kinds of dance forms and it has given Mohit a multifaceted style of dancing. He teaches not only Bollywood dancing but also hip hop, fusion, bhangra, folk and salsa. According to him, every dance form is an art of its own and expresses various moods differently. According to him, dance is the best form of exercise and if you have two feet, anyone can dance. He challenges the students to come out of their comfort zone and has even made the non-dancers comfortable on the dance floor. So, if you think you have two left feet, he will give you the confidence to perform on the stage without any fear!! It gives him a great feeling of pride when his students execute the moves correctly taught by him. He also expects complete devotion, discipline and dedication from his students. His dance school “Dasaurz Fusion” not only conducts dance classes for kids above six years old but also for adults of all ages. He also conducts Bollywood workout classes for adults, which are not only fun but are a complete package for a full body exercise. He also teaches couples of various ages for weddings and functions. If you are a strong Bollywood dancer, he also invites you to join his passionate team to learn choreography and perform on big platforms.
“So, come and fall in love with Bollywood dancing and dance as if no one is watching you!! Dasaurz Fusion – It’s all about Bollywood!!!
