How Preeti Vasudevan is taking Indian dance heritage to youth in the West
New York-based award-winning choreographer and performer Preeti Vasudevan has made Bharatanatyam relevant and relatable for a global audience through her work. December 12, 2020 / 07:30 AM IST

An exponent of Bharatanatyam, Preeti has made a niche for herself by creating new provocative contemporary works from the Indian tradition adapted for a global audience. Her love affair with dance and choreography began in her teens.
