collaboration of two different genre is seemingly ironic but the concept evolves in mimicry. Swan Lake is
a famous Ballet repertoire which depicts the story of a princess who turned to a swan after being cursed
by a witch. ITIK or Duck is similar to Swan and such fusion of two dances is a very interesting concept.
