Ep 2 - Dadi’s Dance Diaries: From Radio Tunes to Insta Reels

Adding Zindagi to Years

For most people, retirement marks the end of a long journey, but for Ravi Bala Sharma, it was just the beginning of a new chapter. Ravi spent decades as a school teacher, channeling her love for classical music into her work, but her true passion—Bollywood dance—had always remained in the background. That all changed after retirement, when she decided to lace up her dancing shoes and share her joy with the world. Despite battling arthritis and societal expectations about “slowing down” with age, Ravi reignited her spark and became a social media star. In this heartfelt episode, we explore how her early fascination with Bollywood songs, combined with her classical upbringing, shaped her creative journey. Ravi shares her challenges, from finding confidence in front of the camera to managing her health, and reflects on how this journey has brought her closer to her family and her younger self. Her story is a reminder that life’s most beautiful moments often come when we dare to embrace who we truly are.
