Natya at Berkeley

Natya at Berkeley is UC Berkeley's Indian classical dance team. We aim to cultivate artistic talent and cultural awareness by performing locally and at nation-wide intercollegiate competitions. Auditions are held at the beginning of each Fall semester. Founded in March 2013, Natya is UC Berkeley's premier Indian classical dance team. We perform locally for cultural events and compete nationally in the collegiate Indian classical dance circuit. We proudly craft and choreograph each of our award-winning pieces ourselves.
