The Shakti Dance Society was incorporated as a non-profit society in Vancouver, British Columbia on August 11, 2004. Its mandate is to promote the ancient Indian Classical Dance form of Bharata Natyam through performance, production, and teaching, with an emphasis on innovation within tradition. Shakti Dance strives to make Bharata Natyam understandable and meaningful to Canadians, and reflective of their experience. Our productions illuminate both traditional wisdom as well as contemporary concerns. Recent productions have been interdisciplinary works combining the dance with contemporary forms such as film and theatre, and drawing on relevant themes for today.
