Triveni School of Dance is a non-profit organization dedicated to the education and performance of classical Indian dance, social awareness, and the celebration of cultural diversity, founded in 1971 by Neena Gulati - an acclaimed dancer from New Delhi, India. The school, based in Brookline, MA, trains over 350 dancers every week in three forms of Indian classical dance: Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. As they learn these techniques, dancers prepare for their arangetram, or artistic debut, featuring a two-hour solo performance. In addition, the Triveni Ensemble gives many performances annually - including benefits for other charities - at multicultural events, schools, community centers, and, universities where lectures are combined with demonstrations and workshops.
