Social media has given a platform to many people. Among those who got to showcase their skills on social media platforms is Ravi Bala Sharma, who dance videos have gone viral.

The 62-year-old always loved dancing but wasn't able to take it up professionally. Her husband encouraged her to pursue her passion by taking part in a dance competition, called Punjab Kesari Club. A few months before the competition she lost her husband and dropped out.

Sharma's family members urged her to express her feelings through dance, and that’s how the journey began. In June 2020, she joined Facebook to share her videos. Her graceful movements and expressions garnered a lot of followers online.

The daughter of a music teacher and tabla player, Sharma had seen Kathak performers while she was growing up. She never took formal training as he family was against it.

After all these years, Sharma started receiving appreciation after she uploaded a video that shows her dancing to ‘Bhor aayi gaya andhiyara’ from Bawarchi. The elderly lady later created an Instagram account, and she has 112K followers today.
