When we first read this message from a student who joined our ₹200 online dance workshop, we were moved to tears:
“Sir, when I saw your ad on Instagram, I thought this is just like the scams going on like other online classes… I was wrong sir. This was the best online class I have purchased till now. Just wanted to appreciate you sir—for bringing dance into people’s lives.”
But what really happened inside this person’s mind? What made them move from doubt to trust, and then to transformation? And why does this pattern repeat again and again among thousands of our students?
Let’s dive in—psychologically, emotionally, and scientifically.
1. We All Carry Skepticism — and That’s a Good Thing
When the student said, “I thought this is just like the scams going on…”, they were expressing something deeply human: skepticism.
🧠 According to Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert, our brain’s first response to any new information is to believe it, and then disbelieve it. This second step—disbelief—is what protects us from making bad decisions. Especially in today’s world of too many online courses and too little trust.
But the magic happens when something breaks that skepticism. And that’s where quality and emotional resonance come in.
2. Why ₹200 Felt “Too Good to Be True” — The Anchoring Bias
The person said:
“I thought nobody can give this kind of quality classes for just 200 rupees.”
This is classic anchoring bias. Behavioral economist Dan Ariely explains this beautifully: our brains compare any new price or product with what we’ve seen before. So if they’ve seen online classes at ₹1,999 or ₹2,999 that offer little value, then ₹200 sounds suspiciously low.
But when the experience exceeds the anchored expectation, it creates a feeling of surprise-based trust. That’s what happened here.
3. Why Dance Touched Them Deeper Than They Expected
What they didn’t realize at first—but felt deeply later—was that dance is not just movement. It’s medicine.
🧘 According to studies in the Frontiers in Psychology journal (2021), dance reduces cortisol (stress hormone), increases serotonin (the happy chemical), and significantly improves self-esteem—even in just 5-day short formats.
That’s why this student says:
“This was the best online class I have purchased till now.”
It’s not just about steps. It’s about feeling alive again. And their body knew it before their mind could explain it.
4. Appreciation = Real Transformation
Notice their closing lines:
“Just wanted to appreciate you sir, for bringing dance into people’s lives.”
This isn’t just a thank you. It’s a sign of emotional integration.
🌱 According to positive psychology research from UC Berkeley, when someone expresses gratitude spontaneously (not when asked), it means they’ve truly experienced a positive identity shift. Their nervous system has moved from fear to safety, from doubt to hope.
In simple words: they feel like a better version of themselves.
5. Why This Isn’t Just About One Person — It’s About You
If you’re reading this, maybe you too have:
- Wondered if you can really trust an online dance workshop
- Thought ₹200 sounds “too cheap” to be real
- Been scared that you’ll buy something and regret it
But what if you’re like this student? What if you’re just one decision away from unlocking a new joyful side of you?
