Our Outreach Mission

Nandanik Dance Troupe’s Outreach mission is to foster the intercultural understanding of diverse subcultures in the US, through performances of many Indian dance forms, while perpetuating the oldest Indian classical dance called Bharatanatyam. We also creatively integrate different dance forms of the world cultures, moving toward a global fusion of new dances that promote Oneness of Humanity in Harmony and Peace.

Nandanik Dance Troupe receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The Vilaya 2023 is supported in part by the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council through its Allegheny Arts Revival Grant.

The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council is well-known within the arts community as its acronym, “GPAC.”
