Ten-year-old Sriharini said, “It was very exciting to perform at the Dance World Cup and bring laurels to our country. Felt very happy and emotional when our group name was announced as the winner. I have participated in many competitions, but this one would be a moment that I will cherish for a long time.” Eleven-year-old Keerthana said, “I felt very happy that all the hard practices we had done had paid off, and I felt so elated that we had won gold.”
