Closing Performance: Natyarpana Dance Company

In October 2003 Natyarpana Dance Company was born to share the authentic beauty and power of Indian classical dance which is over 3000 years old. Kripa Baskaran is the founder and Director of Natyarpana whose main goal is to share classical Indian culture with others beyond the immigrant community and build bridges between cultures, to create an atmosphere of peace and spirituality through classical arts. Natyarpana specializes in Bharatnatyam, one of the most celebrated art forms of Southern India that combines artistic expression with a sense of spirituality. It has roots going back to the second century BC according to Natyashastra, a treatise on performance. For more information, see Natyarpana Dance Company.
