“Indian Dance Fest 2024: An Exciting New Cultural Odyssey” 

Cumming, Georgia, United States, February 19, 2024. The North GA Indian Dance Fest 2024 will bring Georgians together to celebrate classical Indian dance that transcends time and borders, showcasing tradition, community, and artistry.

Join us at West Forsyth High School (4155 Drew Road, Cumming, GA) for a free journey through the ancient art of Indian dance, made possible by the Soorya Foundation and the Forsyth County Arts Alliance’s commitment to preserving and promoting traditional performing arts.

This year’s festival, which will take place on March 23, 2024, at 3:00 PM, promises to be even more enchanting than the previous one, which captivated audiences with performances by award-winning dance companies and local talent alike. Representative Todd Jones will open the event, signalling the beginning of a memorable day.

The event will feature a stunning array of artists from Georgia, Tampa, FL, and Los Angeles, including the acclaimed Soorya Ensemble, Rudram Dance Company, and local schools like Darshini Natyalaya and Bharata Darshana. Together, they will revive a 2000-year-old South Indian dance form known for its intricate music, storytelling, and spiritual depth.

Last year’s festival was attended by entertainers, local influencers, and even Senator Shawn Still, demonstrating the event’s importance in bridging cultures and communities. This year’s event aims to exceed expectations by providing a unique opportunity to interact with the art form and its masters, including renowned local gurus Sasikala Penumarthi, Padmaja Kelam, Soujanya Madhusudan, and Gayatri Seshadri.
