Nrityakosh, an oriental and fusion belly dance school, presents ‘Parikrama’, a dance showcase of 10 Middle Eastern Dance Styles and a lecture demonstration. The event will take place on Saturday, September 2nd at the Shoonya Centre for Arts and Somatic Practices. ‘Parikrama’ will bring forth the history, cultural significance, socio-political influences, and the music of 10 distinct Middle Eastern Dance Styles.

These dance forms, when woven together, create the enchanting fabric of Oriental Dance, commonly known as "Belly Dance". The performers will serve as both guides and educators, leading the audience on a journey through the diverse and unique languages of dance. Live music will accompany the performances, offering a never-before-seen experience for the audience to delve deeper into the world of Middle Eastern dance, music and culture!

Conceptualized and Choreographed by Debapriya Das, Parikrama is the first performance of its kind in Bengaluru in the field of Belly Dance. Over the last several years, Debapriya and her dance institute ‘Nrityakosh’ have been curating and producing socially, culturally, and politically relevant shows that blend storytelling with Oriental Dance.
