 Yes Gayatri, I know that. There are schools which have dance teachers. But as you mentioned, they are private schools. Even among these schools, many of them offer optional training. The few ones with compulsory training reach only a certain section of society, because the majority of Indian children cannot afford these schools. So this would not be a big boost to infusing an interest in Indian dance. But it could definitely be termed as a start, albeit a very nascent one.
