Zangoora-A Fine Spectacle of Music & Dance

"A spectacle so grand it can fit only in your dreams."

-Theme of Kingdom of Dreams 

Delhi had added another star in its portfolio when Kingdom of Dreams opened in Gurgaon(Delhi NCR Region). Kingdom of Dreams popularly known as KoD is a theme park located on the outskirts of the capital city of India. Kingdom of Dreams has been launched in the year 2010 but later it has reached the heights of fame and popularity for its grandeur and attractions that it has to offer. There are many things in Kingdom of Dreams that are quite famous specifically the Culture Gully that has theme restaurants especially designed inside an alley which offers different food and drinks from across 14 different states of India and the two musical shows namely Zangoora & Jhumroo. 
Zangoora is in fact one of the most popular and biggest Bollywood musical theater show in India which premiered on September 23, 2010 depicting the story of a Gypsy Prince throughout its course whose story, screenplay and dialogues are penned down with sheer finesse and brilliance by celebrated script-writer of India, Mr. Javed Akhtar and the musical maestro trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have given the music that gives the much appreciated soul to the show on which choreography is done by the Shiamak Davar Dance Company. Famous artists and dance experts like Hussain Kuwajerwala, Gauhar Khan and Kashmira Irani are the main leads of the show who perform at the special show timings and provide complete justice to their act by dancing and enacting the emotions of of their respective characters to the tunes of music. The show is staged in an equal opulent and pompous way inside the grand Nautankii Mahal. Let's talk about the pros and cons of Zangoora.

Pros
1. Aerial acts that is the highlight of this musical spectacle.
2. Spectacular combination of music and dance that sets it apart from its contemporaries and make it a standout from the lot.
3. Beautiful costumes of the artists which are designed by the top Indian Fashion Designer, Neeta Lulla are a delight to see and admire for the fashion lovers.
4. A complete stupendous and fine spectacle of live dance, music and drama in India

Cons

In my point of view, there are not many negative points really but still there exists some glitches. First of all, no photography and video making is all allowed during the live show. Secondly, the show tickets are expensive and after watching the show, it seems to look each penny spent was worthwhile but still money is money and scooping out a big sum from the wallet of hard-earned salary somewhere hurts.

Lastly, I would like to conclude it as the must watch theater show in India and if you make it a point to visit Delhi, then watching Zangoora should be on the top of priority list.

THE DANCE BIBLE

Recently,browsing through the different websites across the different genres,I stumble upon an amazing website based on dance known as www.thedancebible.com which is surely a hangout zone for those who loves dancing,trust me,I am a big dancing freak myself too. So,putting this website over my radar and reviewing it,I found out that this website totally justifies its name.
One can search a wide range of dance forms under the Dance Zone tab and browse through different sections under it, let it be 20 different dance styles such as ballet, odissi, flamenco, jazz, swing, aerial and many more or surf the dance videos of different dance forms and all the videos are just awesome and believe me it is really troublesome to pick out the best one since all are enticing enough to inspire you learn and try out that style and my personal favorite is the one from swing and swing but all the others are no less too.
This website also offer an insight to the aspects like Dance Anatomy,Dance Diaries,Interviews and biographies of some famous personalities where their success stories and life journey is shared and these things helps a lot in shaping things of your life because you never know how a small statement impacts you.
Well, keeping this spiritual stuff aside, let's get back to the stuff in which we were headed initially,that is, THE DANCE BIBLE. The two exclusive features of this website that stands it apart from others in its league are the Dance Portfolios and the Dance Forum.
The dance forum is one of a kind of platform for social networking where you have the opportunity to ask anything or precisely everything,if you have a doubt, why keep it up to you or dug deep inside you when  it can be eluded out of your system in front of those who share a same perspective about that and can guide you or provide you with a better explanation or a range of options to choose from. So, thumbs up to Dance Forum, its like an open balcony where you can go and scream and come back feeling freshened up.
The next thing which caught my attention is the Dance Portfolios, yeah it is what that it seems to be, you can create an actual portfolio about your dancing skills and off-course yourself, you can put your dancing story, photos, videos and particular styles or skills acquired in this art-form. And the high-point is that this portfolio helps in promoting,showcasing your talent to a bigger audience,networking with them and mind it that these people are as like-minded as you.
To conclude this blog post in the end, I must say that this initiative has impressed me totally being one of its own kind and the stuff which is happening over there is really fresh and inspiring as well as encouraging for the budding dancers.Also,people follow them on facebook too to get regular updates about the Dance Bible.
