    Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose

    Abhinaya Dance Company of San Jose is a professional dance company dedicated to promoting, propagating and perpetuating the traditional dance forms of South India through quality education and creative performances to entertain and enrich the lives of the Bay Area Community. Under the artistic direction of Mythili Kumar, Abhinaya's goal is to create an awareness in the general public about the richness of the classical dance form of India, which is an internationally recognized art form represented in major dance festivals throughout the world.

    Abhinaya's work is rooted in the belief that one of the purposes of dance is to illuminate audiences about their lives by bringing them closer to the meanings of ancient myths. Abhinaya emphasizes narrative principles and concentrates on thematic productions, utilizing the basic technique of coordinated body movements in intricate rhythm and subtle gestures to present varied themes. Abhinaya is committed to the ideal that dance must engage not only the minds but also the hearts of its audience and that it must not only look beautiful but also have meaning.
