Kalanidhi Dance captivates audiences in the U.S. and around the world, demystifying the rich and ancient tradition of Kuchipudi dance through exquisitely conceptualized and choreographed performances. It also trains and develops new generations of Kuchipudi dancers in the U.S, while touring with them across the country and in India and South East Asia. Kalanidhi Dance aspires to maintain an uncompromising commitment to the highest standards of the Indian classical dance tradition while pushing its boundaries to experiment with different forms of artistic expression in dance to access new audiences. Kalanidhi Dance is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (@mdartscouncil) and by funding from the Montgomery County government and the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County (@creativemoco).
