Chhandovani is a celebration of movement where rhythm meets meaning. It nurtures a dance culture rooted in Indian values (Saat-Sur) while embracing contemporary expressions. Not limited to classical forms, it creates space for new interpretations that inspire both the body and the soul.
Through workshops, performances, and explorations, Chhandovani fosters harmony between tradition and innovation, making every step a dialogue between the past and the present. It invites youth and community members to experience dance as a way of life, not just as an art form.
Steps Towards Transformation: Chhandovani is a living movement. From contemporary dance practices to integrating Indian ethos into modern choreography, it promotes creativity that unites discipline with freedom. Each session awakens awareness of body, mind, and spirit, enabling dancers to find balance and self-expression.
Chhandovani Performances: Every performance and workshop is more than an event — it is an invitation to evolve. Chhandovani envisions dance as both a cultural expression and a transformative journey, rooted in values yet flowing with innovation and change.
Chhandovani is a dance initiative of the Ganga Zuari Academy, celebrating rhythm, movement, and cultural expression.
