What does it sound like when tabla and Latin percussion sit in the same measure?

When Carnatic vocals weave through a salsa arrangement?

When ten musicians from three traditions inspire each other and start composing together?

You’ll have to be in the room to find out.

Have you ever felt that pull? A deeper intensity in the body. A call that feels like its from far away.

Sometimes it is the body’s cry for a connection that goes beyond the present.

Watch us respond to the call in When the Sun Rises

This year’s summer intensive is at the end of August - spots open for adults and kids 8+ for intensive training.

It may feel odd to walk into the space - even chaotic to feel the energy of multiple rehearsals going on at once.

And somehow, we wouldn’t want it any other way.

Our season is coming up in 6 weeks!

Roots of Resilience premiered in 2025 as more than a performance.

Audience members left transformed - often coming to us a year later about how much the show moved them.

We felt compelled this year despite incredible challenges to build another program. When the Sun Rises - a journey to find each other.

Last year tickets completely sold out. Make sure to get them before they go this year!

It does so many things- it separates the teacher from being the sole propagator of knowledge

it solidifies the more experienced students knowledge base

it offers students more space for individual questions and training

it connects students in the classroom

meant for short little moments and used judiciously it becomes a great training tool!
