Dances of India

Emperor Akbar's court invited scholars, artists and spiritual leaders from around the world. Nartana Premachandra’s new theater production portrays his court through classical Indian dance and song.

The inspiration for 2024’s Dances of India performance is the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata.

Dances of India is one of the oldest classical Indian dance groups in the country. It celebrates its 45th annual performance this weekend.
