Courtyard Dancers
Courtyard Dancers is a non-profit Kathak dance company based in Philadelphia and Kolkata.

Our dance-theater creations juxtapose the beauty of the classical forms with everyday movements to envision our own collages of life. We strive to make dance relevant to lived and diverse experiences of our lives, both ordinary and unique.

We believe that tradition and contemporary are not oppositional, but are best understood as legacies, connections, and transformations.
