ITF Dancer Avani Manoj Pandagre Betul

Avani Manoj Pandagre is a young and talented dancer from Ramnagar, Kalka Road in Betul, a small town in Madhya Pradesh. Currently a student in Class 4, Avani is not only passionate about dance but also enjoys painting and singing. Her journey is both heartwarming and courageous, filled with challenges that she continues to overcome with strength and determination.
Diagnosed with sickle cell disease at the age of one, Avani has required blood transfusions every 2 to 3 months. Despite her fragile health, her love for dance started early. At age 4, her grandfather enrolled her in a dance class, but due to his cancer diagnosis and the resulting family struggles, the class had to shut down within a few months. Around the same time, her father suffered paralysis on one side of his body, adding further strain to the family’s financial and emotional condition.
Avani’s mother and aunt stood by her through these hardships, even traveling to Nagpur for medical treatment. With no professional training available, Avani turned to YouTube to learn dance on her own. Her resilience and self-taught talent became evident when her aunt, who had seen information about India’s Talent Fight on Instagram, encouraged her to audition.
Avani submitted a video, auditioned in Roorkee on 27th April, and within a few days, received the incredible news: she had been selected for the TV Studio Round. Her entire family was overjoyed—a moment of happiness and pride in the midst of life’s many struggles.
Avani Pandagre is a shining example of how talent, determination, and the support of loved ones can help a young artist rise above adversity.
