IceCraft Performing Arts Festival – The Dream Begins

Indian Classical dance is a 3000 years old tradition , so rich and diverse , nurtured over centuries by Guru Shishyaparampara. Dating back to centuries, compiled by sages and passed down the ages, the Indian Classical Dance has evolved through expressions, gestures, acting, steps and postures. In the time of kings and kingdom artists were nurtured by kings by giving them courtship in their kingdom. They supported the art and creative expressions of dancers and musicians. After the period of kingdom , the support is lost to classical dance and music. We at IceCraft believe that it is responsibility of corporate to come forward and support our centuries old rich cultural heritage
