Sanskriti School Of Art & Dance

This place in Sushant Lok Phase I, at B-458, is where we spend all our afternoons and evenings. Sanskriti School Of Art & Dance started because there wasn't much else around here for kids to do after school. We have a couple of rooms with big mirrors on the walls and some wooden floors that we try to keep clean, though it’s hard with all the feet running around. We teach dance and drawing. Some days it’s very noisy with the music playing and teachers shouting instructions over the beat. Other days, when the art classes are on, it’s a bit quieter, but you can smell the paint and the charcoal everywhere. We have a small waiting area for parents, but it usually gets cramped when a class ends and another one starts. The air conditioner sometimes makes a rattling noise that we need to fix. We handle the registrations ourselves and try to keep the schedule on the wall updated, even if we sometimes forget. It’s a lot of work managing all the different groups and making sure everyone has their supplies. We’ve seen a lot of kids grow up here over the years. Some are good at it and some just come to hang out with friends. We just keep the doors open and get the rooms ready every day. It's a busy life but it keeps us on our toes and the energy in here is usually pretty good.
