Natyam is an initiative by Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation (RVCF) to give a platform to upcoming dancers who want motivation to improve their form. It can also be used as a platform to try out new ideas in dance as long as we stick to traditional Indian dance. This can include classical forms and folk forms.
For you to use this platform, we require that you become a member of RVCF (Basic family membership is currently at $125 per annum). This membership is your partner in helping you grow in your art. It will give you further opportunities to attend workshops by giving you discounts, attend house concerts, perform at house concerts and perform at other venues as needed on behalf of RVCF. Our only goal in RVCF is encouragement of good and committed talent. Welcome to RVCF and welcome to Bentonville. We look forward to working with you and supporting you as an artist. |
