Natyarpana Dance Company was founded in October 2003 by Kripa Baskaran to share the authentic beauty and power of Indian classical dance which is over 3000 years old.

Natyarpana’s mission is to present the rich cultural heritage of India through performances and workshops of Indian classical dance, music and theater. The Company also aims at providing a venue for Wisconsin residents to explore and experience classical Indian arts as a means to reflect upon their own cultural heritage. As part of its outreach mission, Natyarpana serves communities that do not usually have access to ethnic arts or are unable to afford such programs.  Apart from a performing dance company, Natyarpana offers workshops, lecture demonstrations at Universities, schools, colleges and corporate organizations.

Natyarpana has an extensive portfolio with skillfully choreographed subjects presented by highly talented dancers and musicians.  Natyarpana Dance Company adopts a multicultural approach to its performances, using Mime and hand gestures to interpret stories from Indian Mythology as well as contemporary texts and poetry.

 Intricate choreography to enchanting music accented by Aesthetic costuming, brilliant stage lighting, appropriate props and dynamism in presentation is Natyarpana’s hallmark. Every one of Natyarpana Dance Company presentations gives a soulful experience to the audience.

 Natyarpana has performed passionately for packed audience in United States and India.  The dance company is highly recommended by art connoisseurs and is most sought after.
