Traditionally known for their lifelong dedication to the art of dances, this lively pair is now stepping onto the stage to mark their musical debut.

Eid celebration remains incomplete without the enchanting charm of "Ityadi," consistently delivering fresh and distinctive skits and dance performances.
On Wednesday evening (March 13), the lifeless body of legendary Rabindra Sangeet exponent Sadi Mohammad was discovered hanging in his own room. His brother, Shibli Mohammad, was unfortunate enough to find his brother and mentor’s body.
A trendsetter by his own merit and steadfast promoter of the inclusion of male classical dancers in Bangladesh, Shibli Mohammad is trained by one of the biggest names of classical dancing in South Asia, late Pandit Birju Maharaj, the father of Kathak dance.
Gendering dance is a widespread practice, and classical dance is one of the main victims. While spectators wait to see women dance to soft and graceful moves in the field of dancing, men need to be rough and tough.
Zebunnessa Salimullah raised 10 children single-handedly. All of the siblings were dependent on her, as she was the breadwinner and caregiver at the same time for the family. She is survived by 7 children, among whom Sadi Mohammad and Shibli Mohammad are renowned cultural personalities.
The audience are sure to enjoy the marveling dance performance by the two dance maestros appearing on this special episode of “Ityadi”.
