Omkar Shinde: Pouring out the Language of the Soul and Heart

Dancing with your feet can be mastered with rigorous practice but dancing with the heart is totally a different thing. Dance when performed with passion reflects freeness not just of the body but of the soul and is meditative for the performer. We had the opportunity to interact with one such super-passionate person who breathes dance and trains to perfection. The road to the entertainment industry is anything but smooth. But with patience, perseverance, passion and hard work, Choreographer and Actor, Omkar Shinde, has created a niche for himself and continues to mesmerise the audience with his moves and choreography. I have always taken my gut feelings into consideration while taking any decisions and have worked towards it. And I strongly believe in hard work.
