This summer, Laya Arts Collective invites you to experience Indian classical dance in a fun, family-friendly program at your local library. Enjoy a live performance, learn simple hand gestures and rhythms, and celebrate stories through movement!
Join Laya Arts Collective for a vibrant and family-friendly performance exploring the playful, heroic, and timeless stories of Krishna, one of India’s most beloved deities. Through expressive dance, storytelling, and audience participation, Tales of Krishna brings to life his adventures—from stealing butter to lifting mountains—using the classical Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam.
