The Chitresh Das Institute presents performances in kathak and the greater Indian classical arts that spark the imagination, and our community-based school and training institution is committed empowering the next generation with the profound pedogogy, philosophy, and approach of kathak icon Pandit Chitresh Das.

Your donation supports the next generation of kathak dancers and teachers, continuing the powerful legacy of Pandit Chitresh Das by supporting:

The 2025 Tour of Chitresh Das Dance to North Carolina & Texas
The next generation teachers with the Teacher Fellowship
The world premiere of a new work by Charlotte Moraga in Fall 2025

Remember, tuition and ticket sales don't cover all the costs. Your support is what ensures we can continue this powerful legacy.
