Pranita Jain originally carried the Bharata Nayuam dance form to the US in 1991.

The stylized hand gestures, theatrical facial expressions, intricate footwork and complicated rhythms in combination with choreography and spoken words-usually poetry-depict the ancient customs of India. Today Pranita tours with a company of up to eight dancers and three musicians, as well as a rare percussion vocal artist.

With authentic, exquisite costumes, dynamic footwork and expressive hand movements and music, the stage comes alive with the moods, mysteries and intrigue of native India.

Complete eductational packet is furnished for theater performances.

Workshops and residences are also available.


"Pranita is first and foremost a dance artist of the highest caliber. I am always impressed with the extraordinary poeticism and delicacy of her work. In her lecture/recital she gave extremely clear, in-depth explanations of the complex meanings behind the Indian dances she performed."

Charles Richter, Head Drama & Speech Dept.
Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA

"Pranita is an exceptional performer and teacher. She has performed Classical Indian Dance concerts for the public and taught all-day workshops. Pranita is an extremely versatile dancer and is able to perform in a variety of environments from large auditorium stages to an enclosed classroom."
