Ta Ka Di Mi: Exploring South Asian Dance       August 13-August 14
Presented by the Ailey Extension, The Anamika-Navatman Project, and The Sa Dance Company
 

India has over eight classical dance styles and hundreds of folk styles which have made an impact on the world of dance. This two-day intensive presented by the Ailey Extension, The Anamika-Navatman Project, and The Sa Dance Company, will engage the dancer in a myriad of movements ranging from the rich techniques of Indian classical styles to the festive and energetic nature of folk and Bollywood. The intensive will include eight introductory level classes taught by master teachers from around the world such as Maya Kulkarni, Sridhar Shanmugam, Uttara Coorlawala, Pooja Narang, and our very own Sarina Jain. Students will gain insight into the beauties and intricacies of South Asian dance and music through instructors who have shown to be inspirational teachers within their field.
