We hope you will consider making a donation, and spreading the word about our organization to any and all.
The first solo Kathak performance is neither the beginning nor the end. Through a culmination of years of training and commitment, this experience awakens the dancer to this journey being one that continues for a lifetime.
Founded by Farah Yasmeen Shaikh, NDC is breaking barriers in the world of Kathak with a deep commitment to enlightening minds and hearts through the arts. NDC engages in traditional and innovative repertoire and performances - exploring topics and themes of historical and social global relevance, and thrives in collaborative partnerships across other forms of performing arts.
