ISC Minara Dance Mania 2017 concludes
The 13th edition of ISC Minara Dance Mania 2017 organised by Indian Social Club Oman came to a culmination with the grand finale recently held at Al Falaj Hotel. Oman’s biggest non classical dance competition ended in style with the presence of renowned Indian film and reality show choreographer Mudassar Khan.
The urge, passion, disappointments, victories and, above all, spectacular flair was witnessed by a full packed crowd of dance enthusiasts. “The standard and quality of dance has reached a new altitude and the gifted dancers in Oman are definitely comparable with DID competitors,” said Khan.
Students who groomed impeccably under brilliant choreographers set the stage ablaze with their mind-blowing performances and their perfect timing impressed Khan who was hooked on to the show from 5.30pm to 11pm without a break. He regaled the viewers with his interaction and applauded all the dance teachers not only for their incredible style of dances but also for the selection of songs, composition, chemistry and the formation.
The programme started with a welcome speech by the cul- tural secretary of the Indian Social Club, Saji Abraham. Dr Sathish Nambiar, chairman of the Indian Social Club, appreciated the efforts put in by the parents and children to make this event a real success.
General secretary, Babu Rajendran, gave the vote of thanks. He acknowledged the efforts and support of Areej Vegetable Oil & Derivatives and Prem Maker in particular over the years towards this competition. Joint cultural secretary Shakeel K M thanked all the judges, staff and volunteers for sparing their valuable time and conducting the show seamlessly and smoothly.
The absolute desire and dedication of students and teachers made Dance Mania the biggest ever competition held by Indian Social Club in Oman. It is the ultimate platform to showcase the talent and charisma of the most gifted dancers of the Indian diaspora in Oman.
“We got a large number of entries this year especially in the group category, and did our best to get the finest performances and are very glad that the crowd left the venue with beautiful memories,” said Abraham. Khan and Maker gave away the trophies and certificates to the winners.
