The Nartan Rang Dance School of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has been running successfully in New York for over twenty years. The dance school is run by an extremely passionate, talented, and dedicated woman, choreographer Swati Vaishnav. Swati herself began dancing at the tender age of 8 and developed such a deep & inherent connection to the artform that she felt she should pass on her passion to the next generation. She joined forces with Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan over 25 years ago & throughout the continuous passing of time, she has never looked back.
The Nartan Rang Dance School is currently comprised of over 90 students ranging in age from 5 to 50, & is still growing exponentially. Over the years, Nartan Rang has not only been associated with dancing, but it has also become synonymous with friendship, culture, growth, & unity for its students. The school offers an environment in which children born & raised in the United States are exposed to a gateway to cultivate their knowledge of the Indian heritage & culture, specifically in the medium of dance. Nartan Rang Dance School has the added magic of luring its graduated students back to its doors & its teacher even years later. Currently, the school's adult group has students-cum-mothers who had initially started as juniors and returned because they missed their outlet. The school also serves as a platform for forging strong bonds & relationships amongst its students, which comes across in their performances as well. All of the commendable qualities of the institution, simply put, add up to one thing: An unforgettable lifetime experience full of memories, friendship, & most importantly, dance.
