We look forward to a fantastic run ahead, and are proud to have been selected by The Guardian Guide as a 'must see' this week. Later this year we will be taking the show on the road once more for a series of performances marking the centenary of World War 1. We also look forward to Autumn, as our plans for an 'Autumn of Bharatanatyam' come together. We're very excited to be welcoming leading exponent Rama Vaidyanathan for a one-off Choreography Intensive. More news on our plans to come.
