ARPAN

Arpan (say "Ur-Pun") in Sanskrit means to present or to offer in dedication. Our efforts are an offering (Arpan) to the entire community in Seattle, WA right from the inner depths of a diverse cultural melting pot that is India.

Our Mission

Arpan Dance Theatre is a performing arts organization dedicated to promoting the Folk & Classical traditions of India including dance, music, theatre, puppetry, folklore, traditions and values. We strive to bring together like-minded artists who value traditions passed down through the ages while thinking out of the box to create works that have relevance to our modern lives.

Our Academy

Through our academy arm, our mission is to create next-gen dancers who are highly trained not just in technique but are empowered in mind and spirit to make a difference. 

At Arpan , we try to stay away from 'filmi' 'techno' interpretations because it is just not our expertise!

Our Quest

Our creative director is on a quest to make a difference in building awareness through the performing arts about social issues such as nature conservancy, domestic violence, mental health, body image among dancers and building empathy.

Repertoire Classes

Repertoire classes include the typical Kalakshetra margam pieces. Also taught are concepts of choreography and acclaimed choreographic works by Dr. Joyce Paul Siamak.

Personal Intensives with the Choreographer

Personal sessions with the choreographer help you fine tune your dancing and learn intimate details of the process of choreography. Brainstorm your own concepts and bring them to life in this unique class.
