A 23-years-old artist from the Braj region of Uttar Pradesh, Pawan Goswami, has been learning music through Braj Lok Nritya forms like Charkhula, Mayur Nritya, and various other forms associated with Rasleela. After completing his 10th standard, at a very young age, he began his journey with just 50 rupees when he used to carry language for various artists. He learned the Charkhula dance form taking inspiration from Murarilal Tiwari and his son, who have a well-reputed national-level dance group. He has been working hard towards achieving mastery in his craft and pursues it with tremendous passion. He considers Rekha Pal as his first Guru, under whose able supervision, he got to understand the basics of Braj Lok Nritya. Pawan speaks very highly of her teachings and her calibre in the field of dance and music. Most of his performances are very traditional, with no dilution in any form, he adds. When he was in his youth, he had great admiration for dance and tried imitating the dancers around his village. He then started helping those dancers in whatever way possible and never stopped dancing. Apart from dancing, he is also taking singing lessons lately, but his core expertise is in Braj Lok Nritya. He has performed in various locations within the state and the entire country. He has received love and admiration from audiences at various state and national level festivals and pulled off brilliant performances from Nagaland to Orissa to Bhopal to mesmerize the crowds. Jogging down the memory lane, he regards his performance at Nagaland, a place where the people don’t even know about their dance forms, as the most memorable experience. He lives in a family of 6 people with his mother, father, and three brothers. Thus, he also has to dance full time to make ends meet. Despite all his struggles, he strives to keep developing his craft and dreams to acquaint people with the culture of Braj, his dance form, in the entire world in its very essence.
