“East Meets West : An Innovative Afternoon of Indian Dance Fusion” is a blend of contemporary music with traditionalist dance forms. Raja Rajeswari is a performing artist who imparts training in Indian classical dance styles that have survived over 3000 years nearly intact. She plans to blend traditional eastern dance with western music while preserving the sanctity of both cultures. The goal of this performance is to show that we can share any story with any audience regardless of language or cultural bounds since art is the universal language of communication.
