DHiE group dance contest for Zone-A held

The DHiE inter-school group dance competition for Zone-A was held on Saturday at St Joseph’s Boys’ High School on Museum Road.

Around 55 schools participated in the competition – 25 from the junior group and 30 from the senior group.

In the junior group, BGS NPS, Hulimavu, won the first prize. The second prize was won by APS Public School and the third prize was bagged by Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidyamandir School, East.

In the senior category, Apollo NPS won the first prize; Rashtriya Military School won the second, and DBM and RJS High School, Koramangala, the third.

Vivid themes like female foeticide, Swachch Bharat Abhiyan and women empowerment seemed to be the motto of the day for the senior group students. From hit Bollywood numbers to groovy Sandalwood songs, the schools indeed put their best foot forward. While Aurobindo International School in the senior category revived the famous mask dance from the classic movie ‘Navrang’, the students of Rashtriya Military School represented the Goan culture through their dance on the song ‘Ya ya mayaya’.

The colourful props used by the students during the dance added extra colour to the performances. Props like hula hoop, dandiya sticks, brooms, ribbons were used by the dancers to enhance their performances.

The group dance competition for Zone-B schools will be held on November 29.
