Simarpreet, una de las auxiliares de conversación procedente de India que está apoyando la enseñanza de la lengua inglesa en centros de educación primaria en Gijón, fue a la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas para compartir aspectos relevantes de su cultura entre el alumnado de los niveles B2 y C1.

En una de sus intervenciones representó una danza tradicional india conocida como “kathak” a través de la que se cuenta una historia.

Simarpreet nos explica el significado de su actuación:

Kathak is a North Indian Classical Dance form.

The dancer tells various stories through their hand movements and extensive footwork, but most importantly through their facial expressions.

In this video the song is based on the tales of 'Lord Krishna', a loved and worshipped Hindu God.

It is a chapter taken from the life of Krishna when he was growing up. Krishna loved to go to the river bank where other women would come and do their daily jobs. He was the loved one among them all. They used to dance and enjoy while Krishna would  do mischief. There was one girl in particular whose name was 'Radha' who used to love Krishna and Krishna also loved her. One day Krishna caught her and kissed her on her face. And so, in this song Radha is complaining about it to Krishna's mother, Yashoda.

The performance is by Simarpreet, an aspiring dancer.

Gracias Simarpreet.
