About UsThere's always something new happening at the India School of Dance, Music and Theatre Inc.
More than 100 students performed at the annual recital of India School of Dance, Music and Theatre on June 18 at the Gas Station Arts Centre in Winnipeg. The event showcased the talent that India School has managed to develop despite periods of closure during the pandemic.
The India School of Dance, Music & Theatre Inc. has long-standing roots that intertwine with those of Folklorama. In fact, the idea of the South Asian training institute to teach students and showcase artists began in the seventies because of Folklorama.
A new initiative undertaken during the pandemic.
The India School of Dance, Music & Theatre Inc. believes that every interested person in the Arts has a right to be to be part of The creative process of enlightenment, (research and scholarship), and be provided the opportunity to share their gifts, (talents and work), with all Canadians and the world.
