Rangoli is an Indian art where different colours are used to create decorative patterns on the floor at the entrance of homes. Keeping this in mind, Sanskruti School of Dance brings to you its first maiden dance production- Rangoli…Colours of Bharatanatyam.. Just as a Rangoli is created with a combination of different colors and shades to form a creative design, this entire act is also designed such that all the aspects of bharatanatyam come together to form a Rangoli.
This colorful evening of Saturday, November 7, 2009 at Manor Community College, Cambridge was graced by the presence of the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Sheila Stuart.
