Why This Festival Stands Out:
Now in its acclaimed annual run, Erasing Borders offers a global spotlight to Indian dancers, encouraging cross-cultural collaborations and nurturing the future of classical arts abroad. With a backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge and the spirit of NYC, it’s truly a one-of-a-kind celebration of rhythm without boundaries.
