Nava Dance Theatre (NDT) is a bharatanatyam dance company, formed in 2012, which uses classical south Indian dance as a medium for artistic reflection and discovery. Nava’s resident choreographers and company dancers believe that bharatanatyam, while classical, is a modern medium that can be used to discover and understand both traditional and contemporary themes. Through their work, Nava wants to share the art form with those new to classical Indian dance, while presenting depth that can be appreciated by veteran artists and newcomers alike.
