KDT Students Win at Dance Competition
We are so proud to share that three talented KDT students have come in first and second place at the Bharathotsav International Virtual Dance Competition in Ottawa, Canada! Sisters Aaratrika and Ayushmita Mondal each won a category (Kathak solo ages 9 – 12 and ages 4 – 8, respectively), while Indra Khariwala placed second in the ages 13 – 20 category.
The competition was organized by The Great India Festival, which for the past ten years has worked to increase awareness of Indian history and culture throughout Canada with the goal of promoting cross-cultural connection and understanding.
In addition to organizing multiple festivals and events throughout the year, TGIF also offers workshops and educational opportunities about a multitude of Indian cultural traditions from yoga, music, dance, and food to the country’s contributions to philosophy and literature.

What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations, ladies! Watch their performances below.
