A performance of Indian dance in all its beautiful nuances. Stories are woven into dances, narrating myths and legends of India into vements and gestures, using genres of classical, folk and modern dance.
The mission of the Erasing Borders: Festival of Indian Dance is to present Indian dance through its multiplicity of forms and expressions. The festival features artists from India and the South Asian Diaspora. Presentations range from traditional classical repertoire to contemporary, modern and post-modern works that are inspired by India or an Indian dance vocabulary.

folk dances including that of the famous tribe of Kalbelia snake charmers. Works range from traditional invocations to deities – even the revered serpent – to one in which a group of younger dancers expresses ‘Why they Dance’.
