Avril Pinto

Avril Pinto daughter of Cynthia & Rudolph Pinto of Kirem Parish, Mangalore is a  student of St Mary’s Catholic High School, Dubai.

Since the age of four, she has taken keen interest in singing and dancing and has rendered performances for various social & community functions.

At the age of 6, she began to take classical dance classes from Melody Makers Fine Arts Centre, Dubai. Presently, she is studying Electrical Keyboard for her 7th grade practical and 8th grade theory exam from Trinity College London.

“Dancing is my passion”, she says.


Boogie Woogie, which debuted on the telly screen in 1996, was the creation of Javed Jaffery, Naved, Jaffery and Ravi Behl. They never believed it would be one of India’s successful dance shows. Boogie Woogie has been a launchpad to many successful dancers.

The dance show, that continues to rock the small screen with its undying energy, enthusiasm and great dancing, has over the years entertained and enthralled viewers who are now addicted to this show. Over the years the Boogie Woogie show has become a platform to showcase talent across all backgrounds, age groups, genders and cities.

    Congrats GAVIN and AVRIL. Like his well known writer father Melvin, Gavin's veins also seem to be designed to excel. A kid now blossoming into a dancing beauty is welcome news indeed. Gavin should ensure that he grows into a dancer with his own style and class rather than copying and following others. That will keep him a step above the rest. Likewise, Avril also looks smashing and bound for dancing glory. Good luck to both the little ones who now should change gears and strive for more and more awards and rewards in the world of entertainment. Both are going to make all Mangaloreans proud and all other kids have to follow them to win.
