Menaka Dance is a new platform for South Asian dance in Leeds and the North. We support contemporary, popular and classical dance styles originating from South Asia through a diverse set of events.
Led by artist and producer Shivani Jatar, this platform wants to create beautiful live experiences without compromising artistic value of South Asian dance.
Menaka Dance wishes to promote classical dance performances in its annual dance event called Menaka Manch.
We are also training a group of highly-trained dancers to deliver sophisticated performances as Menaka Dance Company.
For those of you interested in a deeper understanding, we have a series that traces the evolution of South Asian dance in the UK called Threads of Change.
We also offer regular classes in classical Kathak and dance workshops.
We do choreograph for and perform at select weddings, sangeets, private functions and community events. Please do get in touch if you require our services.
