About us

Led by Sonal Kumar Turakhia, Shivam Arts Dance Company (SADC) is a professional group of highly-skilled, classically trained Kathak dancers who are pushing the boundaries of traditional dance in a modern setting. SADC's bold interpretations frequently incorporate musical styles not typically used in Kathak, such as Irish rhythms, Spanish guitar, African drums, etc. The dance company has also artfully transformed several Bollywood classics into beautiful classical presentations. This approach helps the dance form to be further enriched, entertaining and appealing to today’s audience without losing the traditional aesthetics of the classical dance form. Since then, SADC has produced several notable dance videos, taking the tunes of HBO hit-show "Succession" and Coldplay's "A Sky Full of Stars." Shivam Arts Dance Company’s work often explores the intersection of movements possible between traditional Kathak and contemporary dance forms. The result is dance that is innovative and beautiful across all genres. Through such collaboration between movement and music, we can see the versatility of dance across cultures, peoples, and times.
