Dance is the language of our soul; a thought, an emotion, and a beautiful way of storytelling. Whether it’s world-renowned ballet companies or unknown independent dance artists, Social media has provided a platform for them to share their art with the world, providing a great source of inspiration for dancers of all ages.

Even though there are many established and renowned dancers and crews on the international stage, there are many talented and upcoming dancers who are breaking ground in India.
