Last performance of Natyloka School of Indian Dance in Ōtepoti tonight. The house is full of families come to see their loved ones perform and the dance community.

Swaroopa has done so inexpressibly much for dance here which has also rippled through the South Asian community but she's leaving to go where there are more opportunities for her work.

Don't let anyone persuade you the arts have enough funding or that they should just be more businesslike.

Ōtepoti people PSA: it's International Dance Day tomorrow and there are TWENTY free dance events happening around the city. Film, talks, and heaps of performance - the programme is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12wI7mI5ad79F943rQv_HmnTX8Zy3Acd0foPPy9OTSek/edit?usp=drivesdk

It's been pulled together by Dance Ōtepoti - she thought a quiet four events might be fun and easy to organise...

Is there anything like Tami Neilson at full throttle? Except maybe Tami Neilson singing backing vocals for one of the Mitchell sisters... What a show! 😍
