Shobana to Manju Warrier: Watch these M-Town ladies celebrating International Dance Day

“Dance is one of the many ways to communicate with God. When you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you,” Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho once said. Dance is an expression of one’s soul. It makes you realize your inner self. And dance is more than just grooving on the dance floor to a song. As the world observes International Dance Day today, here’s taking a look at how Mollywood’s stars are celebrating.


Movies and dance are two inseparable things in Shobana's life. Dance is more like a passion and way of devotion for the actress. Shobana who is a trained dancer considers dance as an expression of her inner self. She also runs a dance school, where she teaches and also carries out research and derives her own way of expressing things around her. Sharing her dance video on Instagram, Shobana also added that she often gets questions about what is the most important thing for a dancer, and all she could say was, there is no one super quality that will catapult a person to success. One needs a complete idea of the music, lyrics, poet, his mood, etc.

Mollywood actress Divya Unni quit films a long time ago, but the talent couldn’t stop herself from dancing. Divya Unni is a trained classical dancer and she often travels the world for her dance performances. Sharing a tribute on Dance Day, Divya Unni wrote, “As dancers, we thrive on spiritual energy. Temples always uplift and inspire us to dive deeper into our dance realm. The lockdown and staying home to eradicate covid19 has definitely stopped us from many things including temple visits. But it has also enabled us to look deep within and find that divine presence that connects our soul to the supreme being .I feel we are getting retrained to transcend the five senses and mentally connect and surrender.”
