Ragamala Dance Company: Further Culture Through Art

Drawing from both their lineage within the ancient South Indian dance tradition of Bharatanatyam and their personal lived experiences as immigrants in the U.S., Aparna Ramaswamy (Executive Artistic Director), Ranee Ramaswamy (Founder/Artistic Director), and Ashwini Ramaswamy (Choreographic Associate) are widely recognized for their singular artistic vision.  

Respectfully revolutionizing Bharatanatyam, Ragamala Dance Company's original works bring ancient questions to modern stages: What do we owe one another? How do we lead with integrity? Your support now will help ensure that this important work continues to flourish—bringing our stories to communities across the country and creating space for belonging wherever we go.
