Belov Thapa

The first time Belov caught our attention was during the initial session of the 4th grade, at the beginning of 2021. He was an adorable, sturdy, shy Nepalese boy, and incredibly talented in dance. The keen sense of rhythm and expression he brought to his movements kept our eyes glued to his presence, to the joy that overflowed from his gestures and face. He started by representing the Sun in the dance of the solar system. He invented a movement with his fingertips, full of humor, to convey the brightness of the rays. Whenever Inês led the session and announced they would dance, Belov would light up. Besides that, he spoke very little. Although he didn't participate in the performances, he became a sort of symbol for the project, and even today, we speak of him with great fondness."
