Episode Notes Few artists have the power to create an indelible impact on the minds of their audiences through their art form and one such name in the world of Kathak dance is Shambhavi Dandekar. Shambhavi Dandekar, as an accomplished Indian Classical Kathak master performer, has carved a niche for herself through her sheer talent, unique performances and unparalleled choreography, that has brought her recognition on the national as well as international platforms. As a young dancer, Shambhavi started her training under the able guidance of her own mother and renowned Guru Pandita Maneesha Sathe, a celebrated dancer and a teacher in her own right. Shambhavi then went on to receive intense training in ‘Laya and Tala' or the aesthetics of Indian Rhythm from Table virtuoso 'Taalyogi' Pandit Suresh Talwalkar. Along with her top-notch traditional dance training, Shambhavi also has a strong academic background with a Bachelors in Commerce and two Masters degrees in Dance. Furthermore, she also holds Diplomas both in French and Sanskrit. She has performed in Japan, China, Middle East, Canada, Australia and Singapore; needless to mention many reputed venues and dance festivals in India and USA. She is a member of the International Dance Council of UNESCO. ‘Singaar Mani', ‘Nritya Ratna', ‘Bharatashree', ‘Kala Teertha' are some of the prestigious titles awarded to her in India. She is also a proud recipient of ‘P. L. Deshpande Youth Award'. She is a high grade artist of Indian National Television. Her performances and interviews have been telecast on TV channels of the USA, Australia, Japan, Singapore and India. Shambhavi's rich heritage enables her to impart Kathak training in an authentic and traditional way. However, despite her traditional training, she has broken the bounds of the traditional repertoire and produced innovative masterpieces. Her story-telling in Kathak is unparalleled. Shambhavi began her teaching career in 1991, under the umbrella of her mother's dance institute Maneesha Nrityalaya. She founded ‘Shambhavi's International School of Kathak' or SISK in 2010 with a vision to encourage the symbiosis of Kathak activities across the globe. Soon after, in 2012 she moved her base to San Francisco, California. SISK India is a prolific institute with 400 students. It has three locations in Pune which are managed by Tejaswini Sathe, Shambhavi's ‘Guru Behen' and sister-in-law, with the aid of 10 assistant teachers. SISK USA is based out of the San Francisco Bay area and is operated by Shambhavi herself. She trains adult students of various levels, aspiring to fulfill their dreams of pursuing Kathak. Furthermore, she invests the majority of her time in training advanced level students and teachers across the USA in mastering the art. Shambhavi's years of experience, intellectual understanding and analysis of the art form, has helped her create stellar performers out of her dedicated students. Many of her students have emerged as Kathak professionals. SISK serves as an umbrella organization to a number of dance institutes founded and run by Shambhavi's senior disciples in various parts of the world. SISK alumni are making their impact through various aspects of Kathak such as Dance Therapy, Dance Publication, Dance Training, Dance Journalism, Dance Accessories Retail, etc. She has initiated various Kathak related activities not only in the Bay Area but throughout North America. Initiatives such as Gurukul Kathak Retreat, Baithak series, Riyaz Challenge, Watch-n-Learn Series, biennial student recital ‘Darpan', conducting Dance and music certification exams offered By Bharati Vidyapeeth University are to name a few. She also earned two fantastic reviews in the New York Times for her solo performances. In 2019 She worked as a panelist in the 41st San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival. During the pandemic, she has proved to be a constant source of knowledge to the young Kathak practitioners across the globe. Her online Masterclass series has received a mind blowing response and has been attended by over 500 Kathak students. In 2021, Shambhavi introduced the pathbreaking Distance Learning Program for adult beginners in Kathak under the auspices of SISK. In a matter of five months, 40 students from various cities of the USA, Canada, India, Middle East, U.K., Australia, Germany and Netherlands are learning Kathak through video lessons created by Shambhavi.

In this episode, I chat with previous Roxi Thompson to look at how coaching was redefined during the pandemic. We reflect on our jobs as educational coaches a year later and examine what we learned and how we will move forward with these new skills. We connected during our lunch times so what better food to share virtually during lunch than a good sandwich! It's a great episode that any instructional or edtech coach can learn from and more importantly, use as a means as a reflection. So grab yourself a sandwich and give this episode a listen.

For some families on the road long-term, putting kids in local schools while traveling becomes an important component of the journey. No, I'm not talking about fancy (and often expensive) international schools, although those can be a good option for some. What I'm talking about are just the regular local schools of a city or country. With local kids speaking and playing in the local language. There are a number of benefits, and it may not be as difficult to do as you think. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio.

Thank you! ::: Putting Kids in Local Schools While Traveling As many traveling families know, travel and education go hand in hand. There are hundreds of ways to approach education when traveling, but one you may have not thought about before is putting your kids into the local schools of the country you're traveling in. This isn't for everyone, and it doesn't work everywhere. That said you may be surprised at how easy and useful it can be to put your kids into a local school outside of your home country.

Some of these guests were just visiting, while others were moving there for a year or for much longer. Listen in!

They've put the girls into local schools in both Spain and Mexico so far. When we met in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Stephen and I went out for drinks and soon the topic turned to our experiences putting kids in local schools while traveling. We've done it, and so had Stephen. In fact, there are many episodes of this podcast with guests who have put their kids in local schools. I've had a few requests for more info and Stephen was keen to talk about it, and that' show this episode came to be. TLDR: Main Points of Putting Kids in Local Schools While Traveling Enrolling in local schools can be quite cheap and easy in many countries There are opportunities for local schools in Spain, Mexico, France, Malaysia, New Zealand, India, the Dominican Republic, and more In general, the younger the child, the more opportunities for enrollment Short-term enrollment is easy for primary school-aged kids and younger. Some schools require some paperwork, such as a birth certificate (or a copy of one), while others require almost none. Don't over plan or stress over the preplanning. Some schools work out, some don't. Book accommodation based on convenience to town or whatever you're interested in, rather than accommodation close to the school. List of other episodes with parents putting kids in local schools at the end of the post. Benefits of Putting Kids in Local Schools While Traveling When I suggest putting your kids in a local school, your first question may be "Why?" For many families, the routines of school and work are part of the reason for traveling in the first place. I get that. And I'm not suggesting this route for everyone. That said, both Stephen and I have learned that it added to our travels and relationships in positive ways. Below I break down a few of the reasons why putting kids in local schools can be rewarding: Make Local Friends Kids sometimes need other kids. Putting your kids into a local school gives them an opportunity to interact with children their age. When kids are young (say, 9 or younger), it's much easier to play and have fun without the need for verbal communication. And yet, as they play, your child will be picking up the local language much faster than any textbook could give them. Language Learning Attending locals schools can be a great way to learn a new language. I won't say it's easy at first, but being around local kids is a huge boost to language learning. Sure, kids are sponges and they'll soak up so much from being in a class where only the foreign language is spoken, but it's the playtimes where real progress happens. Time Apart If your family is traveling long-term, then you see a lot of each other. Whether it's for a summer or a year, long-term travel families are with each other 24-7, and that can be draining. This goes double for guys like Stephen and me, who are still working full-time as we move around. Sometimes you need a few hours to knock out a deadline. Sometimes you want to have a leisurely lunch with your wife. By the same token, sometimes the kids need to play games with other kids. Stephen's Experience Putting Kids in Local Schools While Traveling Stephen and Gloria have two adorable daughters, and the oldest, Penelope, was starting school and going to be the youngest in her class. So what Stephen and Gloria decided to do was take a year to travel, studying Spanish along the way. Their first main stop was Seville, Spain, where they put the kids in local Spanish schools. Here they attended a local Montessori school. There were a lot of tears the first week, he says. But by week two, both girls were happy to head to school. As for schools in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, they discovered lots of options once they arrived. In fact, they wouldn't have known just how many options if the school they planned on fell through (details in the podcast). This helped them realize that when putting kids in local schools, don't stress out too hard with the preplanning. For example, their entire plan for the Mexican school fell through, but they were able to find another great option once they arrived. My Experience Putting Kids in Local Schools While Traveling   If you're new to this blog, then you should know that my kids have attended local schools in Japan, Malaysia, and Spain. And they may soon attend local schools in Mexico, as well. That said, each is a different situation. In Japan, they were local kids, as well. Both kids were born there and speak Japanese. In Malaysia, they utilized the Distance Learning Program of an international school on the island of Penang. They weren't actual students at the school, but could use the library and join extracurricular activities. In Spain, they were really thrown into the deep end. We lived in Valencia, Spain for almost two years, and they attended local Spanish schools the entire time. They didn't speak any Spanish when we arrived. None of us did! Yet when we left, both kids had loads of Spanish friends and spoke Spanish quite well. It was tough in the beginning, but it worked out in the end!
