The Dance of the Sisters.

The Dances of the Seven Sisters with the addition of a Brother, Sikkim, is so culturally diverse that even the geographical barriers serve no justice. And this creates the Cultural Richness in it's Diversity.

Music and Dance of the Northeastern States are a source of absolute rejuvenation, and it is so deeply rooted in their history to depict tales of happiness and sorrow. The Dances are associated with the festivals of the different seasons, and hence, they are celebrated throughout the year.

The Seven Sisters is the union of the Northeastern States of India, that is, the State of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland, and a Brother, Sikkim.
The Dance forms of each of these states are performed with such enthusiasm and vibrancy that people from all over the world travel to these distant regions to have a glance at their culture.
Dances are a way of transportation to visit the realms of the past, of the ancestors, and their experiences of joy and pain.
The accomplishments of the tribe are beautifully captured in these dance forms and it always has a natural flow of story-telling.

Dance is an expression. It is Art, skillfully crafted for the performers to embody, and the audience to experience.
