From Kathak to Bharatnatyam: over 300 artists showcase richness of Indian dance to global audience in NYC

NEW YORK: (Jul 6) Over 300 artists presented a rich tapestry of India’s diverse classical and folk dances, taking a global audience in the US on a cultural journey across the Indian landscape.

The Consulate General of India in New York partnered with Philadelphia-based non-profit dance organisation ‘Three Aksha’, founded by Bharatanatyam dance artist and educator Viji Rao, to host the ‘All-Indian Dance Festival 2026’ at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in Manhattan on Sunday.

With America commemorating its 250th anniversary on July 4, an occasion to celebrate the country’s diversity and rich immigrant history, the dance festival hosted by the Indian Consulate a day later demonstrated the amalgamation of the two cultures as young Indian-origin children born and raised in the US performed classical dances such as Kathak, Kuchipudi and Bharatnatyam as well as the Bhangra.
