Dancing on hot coal

The experience was close enough this past Saturday when our troupe took the stage of the amphitheater at the Rancho Cordova Internation Festival, while temperatures soared to 105 degrees. The result: blistered feet and an awestruck audience.

The pain soon dissolved when everyone congratulated us for a spectacular performance and mentioned that they just witnessed the best Indian Fusion ever.

What came out of the whole experience however was very strong team spirit and professionalism on part of our troupe members. Not only did the dancers keep their composure intact while braving the elements, but our members who did not perform, stood relentlessly in the heat to cheer us on. I'm proud of our group and the love and respect we share amongst ourselves.

Way to go TDC!

Cyclone Concert

Another very well received performance by TDC for a very worthy cause. The Bangladeshi community in Sacramento organized this concert to raise funds for the Cyclone victims back home. It is always heart warming when people from the audience you don't even know, walks up to tell you that ours was the best performance of the evening. All the hard work seems to become worthwhile.

This time we performed a slightly modified version of our earlier production 'Cosmic Creation' and added a new choreography to the tunes of 'Let's Make It Better' by A.R. Rehman. Thanks to performers Swami, Tanu and Vijay for all their hard work and commitment, Tanu for making the script sound so much better, Soma for a fabulous job with the costumes as usual, Vimmi and Nalini for all your help backstage.

Lighting and stage rehearsal for this show however turned out to be a challenge and the backdrop was compromised at the last minute with musical instruments for a band that was supposed to play later that night. But amidst all those frustrations, our performance spoke for itself and we ended up pulling off a great show.
