I WRITE from my hospital bed in response to the article ‘How She Moves celebrates Pakistan’s rich heritage of classical dance (April 12; Dawn.Com), and wish to state that the documentary is the filmmakers’ expression of their ideas about my work, which are in complete contrast to my own ideas.
I am a dance-teacher and choreographer. I have taught in a mostly unfertile environment. My student/disciple, who is my pride and joy and the heir to my dance legacy, is my daughter, Tehreema. She has imbibed all that I had to teach in dance, and has grown beyond that in performance, theory and intellect, as is the ultimate desire of any teacher. She is a deeply dedicated classical dancer, second to none, with ideas for our times, which is what I consider my legacy to be.
