Kathak on skates, girl dances to set record
VARANASI, April 18: A local dance performer has entered the Limca Book of Records by performing Kathak continuously for 24 hours on the roller-skates. The 25-year-old Soni Chaurasia started dancing at 6.30 pm on Wednesday at Arya Mahila Degree College and ended on Thursday evening. “She did it, If someone else does not break her record by May 31, 2010, her name will be registered in the Limca Book,” Smitha Joseph, Assistant Editor of Limca Book told PTI. The entire auditorium gave Soni a standing ovation as she completed her performance on the evergreen holi song chalo guyian aaj khele hori kanahiya ke sang. A PG degree holder in Sitar from Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Soni started learning roller-skating in 2001 from Rajesh Dogera, the president of the organization while she took lessons of Kathak from Pt Omprakash Mishra.
