Nava Dance Theatre is a Bharatanatyam dance company, formed in 2012, which uses classical south Indian dance as a medium for artistic reflection and discovery. Nava’s resident choreographers and company dancers believe that Bharatanatyam, while classical, is a modern medium that can be used to discover and understand both traditional and contemporary themes. Through their work, Nava breaks barriers between classicists and those new to classical Indian dance, while presenting depth that can be appreciated by veteran artists and newcomers alike.
Los Lupeños de San José is one of the oldest Mexican folk dance companies in the United States. Since its early years, the dancers of the main Performing Company were taught steps as well as the culture, style, language, costuming, geography, and the different traditions of each region. Performing Company members have always traveled to México to learn from master instructors and then have brought back the material to the group in San José.
