The Youth Group receives high quality intensive dance training and mentoring from the Artistic Director of the Company, Dr Swati Raut and other visiting dance professionals. The intensive training helps the group to strengthen their dance technique, choreographic and performance skills. Using the vocabulary of Bharatanatyam, the group will contribute their own ideas in developing a choreographic piece using contemporary themes such as, dance and digital technology, dance and poetry, dance and mathematical numbers, which will improve their creativity. The Youth Group will have opportunity to showcase these skills at professional venues and at community events.
