There are constraints that crop up but eventually culture prevails, because culture is what we are. In Indian culture, dance and music have much importance to religious worship and spirituality. It is this compelling force that prompted the founders of East-West School of Dance passionately into the challenging mission of keeping the torch of culture lit in our hearts and minds.
