My life as a dreamer

This is my story...

My full name is Nierasha Gunasekaram, I'm sixteen years old. I was born in Nuremberg, Germany.

At the age of three I've been visiting the Tamil school in our city, there I've been studying our language Tamil and it's writing. Over five years I've participated on the state's exams, which I finished with good grades.In the age of 10 years I stopped going to the Tamil schoo.

In same time in the age of six I've started to learn our classical Indian dance, called Bharatha Natyam in Nuremberg. My first teacher's name is Mrs.Suganthi Ravindranath, she's still here in Nuremberg a great and sucessful dance teacher. There I learned for over six years until the age of twelve years. I've done 4 Grades in that period , practical and theoretical exams. My passion was from I was a child to dance. Dancing is the only thing which inspired me the most ! But I never wanted to earn money with dance, because it's that what make me happy and let me feel free. I just wanted to share my passion with others. With 13 years I've joined the dance class of Mrs. Auxilia Albert Sasi, she inspired me a lot ! Because she is really young and is now a diplom dancer and she's also doing modern Indian dance (Bollywood). Soon I realized that I've more interest for modern dancing, I liked the music and the moves ,especially the expressions of the dancers in Bollywood Dances were really beautiful and full of joy and happiness. Then I stopped going to the dance classes, don't even know yet why I've done that. But I never stopped dancing! I danced at home to Bollywood Music with own steps ,those were my first. And soon I knew that I can do that all by myself that I don't need someone who gives me the moves. I can create them on my own.

I believed in myself, I was always a optimist and I'm still.

I never took the comments seriously of the others who gave negative statements ,because they don't know what a love it is between dance and me !

But even I believed in myself there was always a little scare, what the other people would say, because I'm still a child and so young.

My first own choreography which I performed was at a Birthday Party of my cousin in London. I reached so many praises and blessings, that I will become one day a great dancer. I was so happy. So I decided to dance in my city, too. I mean why not , who cares ? With fifteen years I made my choreography which was 8 minutes long for the new years's function in 2013. But there was a problem if I wanted to participate there , I can only dance with a group of minimum six people. I didn't know what to do. But I didn't give up. Thank my mom and the mother of my dance patner, Majuri Thamendram, we had in the end 8 children. But I had only five days left for teaching and practicing . But I believed it will be great ! I never thought that I will have my own dance students with 15. It was a beautiful experience and these children were really talented. God show me that way and I've proved every one !

So many people came to me after the performance and congragulated me. My parents were really proud and happy, of course me too. That was the day where I wanted to have a dance group. And now my group, my drea, my love is called SilentSouls. This name just says that even silent people can make a brilliant show because the optic of a person doesn't describe his talents, the soul of a person is the truth and the real face of a human. And dancing for me is just with heart and soul.

Dance is love which I made when I was a child, now we are over 10 years a happy couple together. I love it every day more.

I thank god, that I have this talent and this beautiful life as a dancer, also that he gave me two healthy legs and arms, and so many supportive people around me.

I thank my lovely parents who supported me and let me go through this, especially my dad ! He was the only one who said every time that I can do that !

Also I thank my friends and relatives. I hope one day I will share that to the whole world, still that I will be dancing.

Thank you for reading and for taking time for my story!
