Sanskriti Arts attempts to raise awareness of the various forms of South Asian dance.

"I have worked with Sanskriti Arts for several years. Puja Amin (along with fellow teacher Nirmala Jadoonanan) has created beautiful, thrilling dances for students in various groups of youth. The dancers were profoundly challenged and they improved their co-ordination, stamina and expressiveness remarkably under these gifted teachers. Most of all, they had a great time and gained enormous confidence as well as invaluable exposure to the rich, vibrant and varied gifts Indian dance has to offer. I recommend Sanskriti without reservation!” Paula Wing - SoulPepper Theatre Company
