History
The Nartan Rang Dance Academy of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan has been a staple in New York for over 30 years. Founded by choreographer Swati Vaishnav, the school has locations at Herricks/New Hyde Park and Hicksville located on Long Island, with a Manhattan/NYC outlet to commence in late 2015. The school is comprised of over 80 students (aged 4 - 50) and continues to see exponential growth year after year. Nartan Rang has not only trained its students to become exemplary dancers, it has cultivated friendships, artistic expression, and a deep sense of connection to the Indian culture and heritage. The school is unique in its Graduation Program where students who have been learning for at least 5 consecutive years and have completed their curriculum in Folk, Semi-Classical, and Bollywood, as well as an apprenticeship in their 5th year, are given the opportunity to do a solo, self-choreographed performance and earn a certificate of dance.
