Dancing is my first love: Esha

Esha Deol is all set to hone her dancing skills. She is flying to the United States to enroll at a dance academy in February. And wow, Esha is going solo too! Most often accompanied by her mother, this time she’s set to live alone for two months. She can barely believe it herself. Says Esha, “Even Aahna is not coming with me. I am going all alone. Yes, two months is a long time to be away from the family. It took me some time to take this decision, but I think it is necessary. I have two months free now. I have completed my work for Sunday and Hijack , so I thought I should utilise the time and do something worthwhile.” Talking about her upcoming trip, Esha says, “I just can’t wait to go to the US. Dancing is my first love. After all, how long can one go on with those same old jhatkas and matkas in films? I want to learn some new dance forms, like jazz and ballet, at the dance academy (name withheld by request) and use them in my films later.” Esha also tells us that her mother is working on a new ballet Ganga. “Mummy has performed 12 ballets. This will be her 13th one. She is doing a lot of research and appointing choreographers and musicians.” Esha, Hema and Aahna will return to their bungalow at Juhu around June-July, after she returns (right now they’re living in Goregaon). “The work is in progress there. Four floors are ready. We may add two more... We will keep the entire building to ourselves,” she says. As a kid, Esha learnt Bharat Natyam and went for dance concerts with mom.
