Rajita began to feel very happy when she saw her challenged clients having fun and smiling by dancing out of their comfort zone. Clients continuously began to ask Rajita to teach dance classes regularly, because they felt dance is the best therapy and stress relief for them. She took encouragement of her clients and staff and she became a fitness instructor. She started teaching dance at YMCA.
