Formerly The Raj Kapoor Ensemble, Dance Theater of Nepal has been performing in the US since 1996. As a non-profit organization, DTON is devoted to the instruction, presentation and preservation of Nepali performing arts in America and abroad. The heritage of Nepali performing arts includes both classical and folk traditions. The ancient classical dances of Charya Nritya, or dance as a spiritual discipline are meditative in nature and are intended to develop the awareness of the dancer. Festivals in Nepal continue year round and are celebrated in villages and the bigger towns of Kathmandu. Music and dance continue to be a timeless part of everyday life and often highlight such themes as courtship, marriage, planting and harvest cycles. Special occasions include holidays such as New Years and Vijaya Dashami. For more info visit http://www.chakrapath.com/dton.htm |
