Learn performing art

Learning performing art is a life long pursuit. Most eminent artists such as our members have spent the best part of their life in learning their art. They usually practice 10-15 hours every day.

Many art lovers may not be able to dedicate such long hours to learning. This may discourage you from learning. But we at Meetkalakar would like to urge you to learn some performing art, even if you have a little time to spare.

Here are some good reasons

Learning art adds positivity to your life. It is a guard against stress and negativity. Scientific studies have found that learning music has beneficial effects on brain cells. These benefits are similar to meditation.
Most performing arts are deep rooted in culture. For example, learning Indian classical music or dance can take you closer to Indian culture
Learning even a basic level improves interest and appreciation of the art. As student of Kathak for eg, you feel much more connected to not only Kathak but all dance forms
