Off the Beat Dance Podcast premieres September 9th!

Welcome to an Off the Beat dance podcast with Ameya and Kiran!

There are a couple of phrases that are endemic to every Indian classical dancer: “Dance is more than just moving hands and legs” and “Dance is a way of life.” And you know, at times that might start sounding a bit trite.  

We want to dive deeper. We want to look at the common aspects of Indian classical dance forms with fresh eyes, bringing our lived experiences, academic nerd joy, and - most importantly - the questions that drive us.  

Basically, we’re taking an off the beat approach to discussing Indian dance.  

Our principles:  

1.     No academic jargon. K.I.S.S.  

2.     Positivity and moving forward  

3.     Be authentic. Unpolished. 🙂 

It’s a bit quirky. It’s intimate. It comes with citations of all our favorite sources. And, most importantly, it looks for actionable ways we can engage with our dance and make a difference.   

We’re planning to launch An Off the Beat Dance Podcast with Kiran and Ameya on Thursday, September 9th.
