It was nearing late afternoon and our whole team was excited. And why wouldn’t we be, we were interviewing none other than the Vixens Crew! The group of seven fierce women, who took the dance scene by storm, are truly a force to reckon with. Too busy being trendsetters and an inspiration to many, they still made time to chat with us and the energy throughout was nothing short of electric.

As they entered the room, it felt like a burst of energy, a powerful army of women ready to conquer the dance floor. The room buzzed with excitement, a mix of intimidation, awe and pure admiration. Medha, Anushka, Vibha, Megha, Bhavana, Ketaki, Renee, collectively known as The Vixens, exuded power and camaraderie.

Amidst laughter and banter, we delved into their world, discovering the essence of their journey. Recently celebrating their one-year anniversary, The Vixens Crew is filled with anticipation for the exciting journey ahead.

"We're saving the celebration for something big," Megha shared, hinting at future plans and moves in the making. The passion in their voices echoed as they discussed resolutions, collaborations with bigger artists and the invaluable lessons learned in 2023.

Each member took their turn describing the person beside them, painting a distinct picture of their counterpart. From Megha, celebrated as the playful one, to Anushka labeled the "moon of the group," the Vixens' diversity goes beyond their dance styles, encompassing their individual personalities.

Their friendship extends beyond the dance floor, evident in the way they speak about each other. Laughter echoed as they playfully described each member, revealing a bond that goes beyond the beats of their choreography.

Looking back at their journey, they acknowledged the unwavering support of their loved ones. "At the end of the day, we are doing something that we love," Bhavana shared, emphasising that their passion, commitment, and most importantly, their self-belief is what got them through initial skepticism.

The conversation shifted to their creative process, and it became clear that Vixens are more than just a dance crew; they are trendsetters. "We create our own trends," Vibha affirmed, explaining how they infuse their unique style into every routine, refusing to be confined by existing norms.

When we touched upon the topic of the landscape of social media and the pressure that comes with it, the crew agreed that staying true to themselves is the key. The digital world is a space where demands are endless and conformity is valued, but as Anushka tells us,, “We focus on the positive comments. It's good pressure, not something negative."

The highlight of the interview was when they shared stories of unexpected encounters, including a surprise collaboration with Dulquer Salmaan, the famous Indian actor and playback singer. Their excitement was contagious and the recounting of the surreal experience left all of us in smiles.

As we were nearing the end, the conversation flowed to their future aspirations with up coming plans for more collaborations, travel and performances. There was one word that encapsulated their vision: "Grateful." We could feel it in their voices that they were grateful for the journey, the support and the opportunity to inspire through dance.

There is no doubt that the Vixens will continue to weave their unique story, one that comprises of empowerment, authenticity and of breaking barriers. Their journey continues to unfold, promising more rhythm, more laughter and undoubtedly more Vixens vibes in the years to come.

Kirti Sushant Pai, a master practitioner of graphology at Global Penmanship Academy and a member of the International Council of Graphologists, delves into analysing handwriting to understand personality traits.

Pai, an MCC alumnus, always found herself interested in working with children, however in the end, she moved forward with pursuing sciences until graduation. Years after becoming a homemaker, she found a new passion in graphology.

By analyzing handwriting elements like size, slant and pressure, one can gain valuable insights into strengths, weaknesses and behavioural patterns.
