What is Nadanta?
Nadanta is a well-established, non-profit artistic and cultural organization that has used the universal language of dance to present the diversity of Indian culture to audiences around the world since 1987. Our primary emphasis is on young people, with whom we work to preserve the traditions and values which provide continuity and cohesiveness to the ancient Indian culture, but our outreach includes everyone who appreciates the timeless beauty of the dancer’s art.
Nadanta’s performers embrace the full spectrum of Indian dance from the classical elegance of Bharat Natyam and colorful exuberance of folk pieces to the thoroughly contemporary expression of modern creative choreography.
