Inaugurating the session of ‘Let’s shake a leg’ at British Lingua, its managing director and noted author Dr Birbal Jha said, “IDD inspires us to have the ability to move our body rhythmically to music following a set of sequence of steps, shaking a leg, cutting a rug, tripping the light fantastic, footing it, stepping it, hoofing it, whirling and twirling the body”.
Further, appealing to the audience on the day, he went on asking them to stand up and get jigging as the dance of any sort teaches us how to interact with music and express ourselves artistically, fantastically and captivatingly.
“Dancing, a form of exercise has a recreational and entertaining value in human life. It could be a way to stay fit, in fine fettle for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Music accompanied by dancing gets into the soul of those participating in it, replacing any negative energy from the body with the positive one. It also establishes a sense of community life and togetherness, allowing one to be as closer as possible and to be joined at hips.”, emphasized Dr Birbal, known as ‘Paagman of India’ for his socio-cultural movement in the country that stirred up the Central Government-led by Narendra Modi into issuing a postal stamp on Mithila Paag in 2017.

However, with globalization beginning in the early ’90s, and with the manifestation of the Internet, cultural exchanges have become ubiquitous and are enjoyed by all”.
