Giant Leap

A clutch of second generation Indians recently presented a dance performance, Megh Dhanush: The Six Seasons of India, at the prestigious Meadow Brook Theater in Michigan. For the motley group consisting of children drawn from the Indian diaspora in the Michigan area, this was a big step forward as hitherto they had been restricted to smaller scale performances concentrated in high schools.

Nadanta reaches out both to the Indian community and to non-Indian audiences.
