3/22/2003 and 3/30/2003, Nritya Sangam

Nritya Sangam Indian Dance Troupe has graciously organized two dance performances with all proceeds going to Pratham. Nritya Sangam was founded in the Spring of 2001 to bring together Indian dancers from different styles. The troupe members are all trained in Bharata Natyam, and many of the dancers are also trained in other classical dance forms such as Kathak, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. The troupe performs traditional Indian dance pieces passed down by their gurus, as well as contemporary pieces choreographed by the troupe members. Each semester Nritya Sangam performs a show at the Clay Pit restaurant to raise money for a non-profit organization. They have rasied over $4000 thus far to help such organizations as Capital Area Food Bank and Saheli. Pratham Austin is the lucky organization this semester and we hope all of you can join us for Nritya Sangam's wonderful performance. Click here to see the flyer.
