Indian Dance Performance: Bharatanatyam (6:15 – 7:00)
Bharatanatyam is a primary Indian classical dance form that originated in southern India. This dance form is noted for its remarkable facial expressions, rhythmic footwork in squatted legs, and, most importantly, postures highlighting ancient Indian sculptures found in temples, transporting the audience to India’s history and rich culture.
Through every dance performance, Stuti will narrate mythological stories revealing India’s culture, traditions and rich heritage through this beautiful dance form, “Bharatanatyam.”
Stuti is an Indian classical (Bharatanatyam) dancer based in Ottawa. She earned her diploma in dance in 2005 from Kalamandalam, Calcutta, India. Stuti owns a dance school – Kalagriha School of Performing Arts in Kanata. She teaches beginner, intermediate, and advanced dance lessons to kids, youth and adults of the South-Asian community in Ottawa.
Let us know what you can bring to share with the AV community and if you can volunteer at the event.
Please consider volunteering to help make this event a success. We’re seeking a few volunteers to help with set-up, monitoring the potluck tables, and clean-up. See available volunteer shifts in the event RSVP link.
