Traditional Indian Dance Workshop with Dances for a Variable Population 

Picture
On February 9th 2026, I look forward to being at Queensbridge-Riis Senior Center in Long Island City for a Bharatanatyam workshop with older adults. This event is in collaboration with Dances for a Variable Population. 

We will explore hand gestures, facial expressions, percussive movement, melody, and rhythm, and then bring them all together to co-create a piece together. All the movements we will explore can be done seated on a chair, standing up, or even just with your hands! Find the joy of expression, movement, music, and storytelling in Bharatanatyam. All activities are adaptable to all abilities!


Here's more information about Dances for a Variable Population:
"​Experience the joy of movement and community through our Movement Speaks® classes. Designed for older adults of all abilities, these classes promote creativity, health, and connection."
