Scottish Rite Masonic Museum, 33 Marrett Road, Lexington MA
3:00pm - 7:00pm
Created in 2015, by Jayshree Bala Rajamani a Lexington MA based dancer/teacher/choreographer, with the sole purpose of supporting our local dancers by providing them with an elegant stage and payment for their craft, while quite literally opening the "third eye" towards dance appreciation and understanding.
This festival, over the years, has featured many talented dancers both within Massachusetts and around the US, in the varied classical Indian dance styles, while also inviting stalwarts from India to be featured. The festival also provides a stage for the young 2nd and 3rd generation dancers in the Upcoming Young Dancer Series.
