Mission Statement

Through intersection of performances, arts education, and civil engagement, Desi Dance Network seeks to empower South Asian artists by creating and developing safe spaces for artistic and creative growth. We believe there is an artist in everyone. We believe in liberating the artist. Desi Dance Network exists to combat cultural erasure and challenge the mainstream notions of identity by providing a platform that promotes narratives through Desi dance, music, and arts.

Description

Desi Dance Network was officially founded in 2014 to foster a community amongst artists engaged in competitive South Asian dance. Since the inception of the organization, Desi Dance Network has grown to include not only dancers, but all performance artists from multiple genres of South Asian performance arts (including DJs, producers, filmmakers, etc.). Desi Dance Network was founded on the principle of community building and re-empowering the South Asian community by reconnecting multigenerational South Asian dancers to their roots. Desi Dance Network co-hosts and sponsors various national events ranging from dance competitions to conventions and forums.
