Please join us for an Indian Dance Series workshop!

This workshop offers a fun and enriching experience where participants will explore body movement while discovering how Indian classical and contemporary dance have evolved alongside diverse drumming traditions.

No prior dance experience is needed. All you need is enthusiasm, a joy for learning, and a willingness to move your body to the beauty of drumming music. This workshop invites you to explore the life within yourself through movement, dance, and rhythm.

Through rhythm, expression, and guided movement, students will:
