Five years ago, Kamal Singh first saw ballet in a Bollywood movie. Today, the twenty-year-old son of a rickshaw driver has seen hundreds of people raise funds to send him to a top school and support his dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. Here, chatting with Mehar, in Hindi and English, Kamal shares how a performance in Russia marked a turning point, what the support of his parents means to him, and his hope to inspire other kids with unconventional dreams.
