Anjali School of Dance

Romeo and Juliet has already inspired a classical ballet and a full-length hip-hop piece, so why shouldn’t A Midsummer Night’s Dream be told through Indian dance? Anita Menon, founder of the Anjali School of Dance, is prepared to do just that: She held open auditions for local dancers, as well as musician and actors, to cast in her version of Shakespeare’s comedy, which will incorporate dance styles including bharatanatyam, kuchipudi, kathak and native folk dances, plus ballet, tap and hip-hop. The score that accompanies the work is equally eclectic; a little classic music here, a little Bollywood soundtrack there.
