We also have a community event announcement:
This weekend is the big India Fest day at the Dorton Arena by Hum
Sub. There are performances all day with some special featured
programs including a unique classical dance program by Supriya's Payal
Dance Academy at 4 pm Saturday March 26 as detailed below:

Rhythm: Heartbeat of Dance.
A presentation of Supriya’s Payal Dance Academy

A special production from Karnataka Kalashree Supriya Desai and her
company Payal Dance Academy for Nuv Yug’s India Festival
Evening of Saturday March 26, 2011

A short journey into the world of Indian dance as it has evolved over
time from one generation to another, from one genre to another with a
common theme of rhythmic basics. Starting with the tribal dance,
progressing to the folk and classical and ending with contemporary,
including Bollywood. This displays the brilliant choreography of
Supriya Desai and demonstrates her versatility.

People who are familiar with Supriya’s programs are accustomed to
expecting two things from her – outstanding quality and uniqueness of
theme and presentations. This program follows the same pattern.
