Experience the dynamic south Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam! Ashwini Ramaswamy ('03), a senior member of the internationally acclaimed Ragamala Dance Company, makes her solo debut in New York as part of the Drive East Festival this August. 

Accompanied by a stellar Carnatic (south Indian) orchestra, Ashwini interweaves rhythm and melody, image and poetry, beauty and strength, intense physicality and intimate emotion. Carnatic music and dance are paired in a way that allows for interpersonal energies to manifest live on stage. The improvisatory quality of the music and the range of individualized expression in the dance make every performance an ever-changing, spontaneous dialogue between the artists. 

“Ashwini performs with the grace and beauty associated with bharatanatyam, but she also brings a level of athleticism, ferocity, even mischief into her dancing.” 
– Minneapolis Star Tribune
