We are very fortunate to be living with a legendary in Indian classical dance whose creativity is endless and has brought mesmerizing programs and support artists from India often single handedly. Guru Kasturi's talents and dedication is monumental in organizing annual dance festival in St. Louis which brings most talented dance groups from all over the U.S. and Canada. Guru Kasturi's bountiful energy and infinite service to art is a great gift we St. Louisians treasure. Mrs. Seema Kasturi and the budding artist Samanvita Kasturi both with their amazing talents in music and dance compliment Guru Kasturi's endeavors in bringing the best of Indian traditional art forms to us. We congratulate the Kasturi family and thank them immensely for all their best efforts in promoting arts locally for decades.
Soorya Performing Arts is one of the best non profit organizations which is promoting Indian Classical dance and music in a very great way. Soorya plays a big role in bringing awareness in the younger generation regarding the beautiful art forms of India. They do recognize and honor the senior artists from all over the world and also provide opportunities for the students to learn from such artists to expand their horizon. Prasanna Kasthuri, the Artistic Director of Soorya should be given all the credits for his hard work, untiring efforts and commitment for the propagation of Indian classical art forms in USA.
