Nritya Sankalpa Dance Academy comprises dancers whose mission is to create next generation dancers who are not only highly trained in technique but also empowered in mind and spirit to make a difference by nurturing the importance of sharing/donating through art and being better humans.
ARPAN 2025 is a unique student-led initiative from the academy which is more than just a performance—it is an offering, where students take full ownership of perceiving, preparing, and presenting a dance production to raise funds for meaningful causes both local and international.
This year, the dance school's students will bring to life an adaptation of Shiva’s Fire by Susan Fisher Staples—a powerful story of a dancer’s journey, highlighting themes of sacrifice, empowerment, and the pursuit of Natyam (dance).
Through ARPAN 2025, Nritya Sankalpa students, under the guidance of Director Savitha Viswanathan, aim to make a difference by raising funds for three incredible charities dedicated to supporting women and young girls:
SAHARA Foundation - A nonprofit organization to support the victims of domestic violence and elder abuse to meet the needs of the underserved South Asian community in Southern California.
Every 28 Days - A nonprofit organization dedicated to combating period poverty. Their mission is to provide menstrual products to underprivileged women and girls while raising awareness about the importance of menstrual health and hygiene.
Chinmaya Vijaya - An apolitical, non-governmental, all-girls Orphanage whose main objective is to adopt girl orphans, give them a home and a stable living environment, and create strong and dependable relationships among them so that they live in a safe, home-like atmosphere.
