Yes. Please make sure to leave a few words of advice or encouragement for Ami and Mia.
Q: Can I take photos/video?
Absolutely! Just please keep the flash off so as not to disturb the performers. We will have a professional photographer and we provide a link for sharing any media you have to share.
Q: Will there be any food or drinks?
Yes! Indian brunch before the performance, we will have tea and snack boxes during intermission.
Q: Are kids allowed?
A: We would love to have kids. However, from beginning to end the arangetram will run approximately 3 hours, there is a brief 15 min intermission. If you think your child cannot sit through a long performance you are welcome to attend via the livestream that will be broadcast.
Q: Can I leave early/arrive late:
A: Late Arrivals might be distracting for the dancers. While we would love for you to stay for the whole performance. If for some pressing reason you must leave or are running late, would request you to be least disruptive as possible. Ideal time would be during intermission or when a song ends.
