Celebrate the end of winter with Indian classical dance.

Occurring on the last full moon day of the Hindu lunar-solar calendar, Holi marks the start of the harvest season and is a time to reset, renew and forgive for errors past. 

As part of the festivities, participants will learn and observe the basics of Indian classical dance. Dancer Nithya Ramesh and her students will present and teach examples of the Bharatanatyam dance form.  

All are welcome for this free family event. 

With thanks to our Season Sponsor – Community Programming: The Jack & Dorothy Byrne Foundation.
