Tanusree Shankar Dance Company
An overview
Our Core Objective
We aim to:
- Foster a deep appreciation for dance, and for bridging traditional classical techniques with contemporary expressions
- Grow the all-round development of artistes as skilled performers, teachers and choreographers
- Create a platform for dancers to explore their potential, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to the cultural landscape
- Further a modern idiom created by marrying traditional Indian dances with modern western ballet expressions, while showcasing Indian classical dance as well as our folk and regional dance forms
- Combine rigorous training with creativity
- Cultivate a new generation of skilled, versatile artistes who can carry forward the Uday Shankar legacy
Through performances, workshops, and collaborations, the repertory also seeks to promote dance as a powerful medium of storytelling and expression, both locally and internationally.
