SHAKTI travels to India!
There is something magical about dancing in India. I want to offer dance in sacred spaces…temples that hum with a vibration so ancient and so alive. Dancing there becomes a beautiful conversation with centuries of connection.Travel transforms the students… darshan at temples, moments studying sculpture up close, evenings at concerts watching artists during the acclaimed Chennai music and dance season… suddenly you understand the pulse of the country, its rhythm and its breath. I want to give the students these precious moments that inspire discipline, awaken practice, and stretch the imagination. - Viji Prakash Director, Shakti School of Bharata Natyam.
