Teaching students, who can't even listen to the song on which they are performing is really a challenging task and Sangeeta does just that.

This is not the first time that deaf students from Assam have been performing outside the state. Sangeeta keeps on taking her students to events and one such was in Kerala recently.

This mammoth task that Sangeeta has undertaken needs a lot of patience, as it entails understanding each dancer’s needs individually. Sangeeta’s hard work has started paying returns and this indeed is a moment of glory for the students of Assam.
