India Fest 2011 features Rhythms of India. Local artistes and artists from the surrounding areas will represent a varied showcase of performances from different parts of India. This will include contemporary and traditional dances as well as musical performances. This mega showcase will feature a spectacular fusion from all parts of India— Traditional, Hindustani and Indian contemporary as well as western dances.

India is a wonderful blended medley of traditions and customs that are born out of traditional village India as well as the modern day, contemporary India. Our showcase will celebrate India’s astounding diversity of religions, languages, and cultures that are unique and unparalleled. This vast subcontinent, in its rich heritage, is among the oldest in the world. Five thousand years of history have nourished the growth of a great civilization. It has been vitalized through cross-cultural contact and characterized by unity in diversity of culture and race, caste, religion, and language. The 2011 India Fest theme captures the essence of India’s unity in diversity by bringing together this unique medley that represents India today.

Come celebrate Rhythms of India 2011 with us.
