MOKSHA started its journey in Dec 2010 when a bunch of friends enthusiastic about Indian style of dance, came together to form a very International dance group. The group is a very International mix of dancers originally from Chile, Croatia, Costa Rica, India, Romania and USA, who have made Atlanta their home for a few years now. The team mantra is to enjoy dance, and explore the richness of Indian dance, ranging from Folk to Classical and modern day Bollywood. As the word “Moksha” (liberation) indicates, the group believes that dance is a universal expression of the body and mind, and liberates self from artificial differences created by physical and mental boundaries. Their dance page is at www.facebook.com/mokshadance
