If you’ve ever wondered what goes into making a professional dancer, this weekend we get a sneak peek into the lives of Indian classical dancers. The hours of practice, the years of training to perfect their art of evoking your senses through their dance. We are drawing at Nrityagram!
If you have never been here, you must. It is a space that one must experience. In the words of the Late Protima Gauri, Founder of Nrityagram in 1990:
“It is a community of dancers in a forsaken place amidst nature. A place where nothing exists, except dance. A place where you breathe, eat, sleep, dream, talk, imagine – dance. A place where all the five senses can be refined to perfection.
A place where dancers drop negative qualities such as jealousy, small-mindedness, greed, and malice to embrace their colleagues as sisters and support each other in their journey towards becoming dancers of merit.”
