Ballet4Lifer-of-the-month for October is finally ready to relevĂ©!!! We welcome rising Dancer Rani Singh. Rani shares her very interesting tales of adventure, life experiences, and her joy of life and movement with us. Rani performing with the Katy Anne Robinson School of Dance a while back When did you start dancing? My parents had a Punjabi dance teacher visit our house in Acton and teach a group of us young children each Saturday. Sometimes we rehearsed in the garden. A lot of traditional Punjabi dances are about farmers and farming, so when performing in public, we would wear traditional Punjabi farmer-style light turbans, shiny black decorative waistcoats and baggy cotton trousers. We would paint black moustaches on with make- up. In one dance I mimed holding the reins, driving a bullock cart with two of my friends mimicking bullocks, their hands sticking out either side of their heads.   Rani with he r pa rents at an event at EMI.
