Live From T5

HistoryThe Natraj Center for the Performing Arts, a not-for-profit organization, traces its origins to the renowned Natraj Cultural Group, which was founded in 1989 by a group of mothers led by Barbara Lemoine whose initial objective was to support a group of young dancers to perform innovative and creative dances. Today, Natraj proudly continues to provide a forum where our youth can hone their talents and nurture their creativity both collectively and as individuals. These young artistes share their knowledge of their rich Indian culture and heritage with the youths of the community through classes and workshops in dance, drama and music. Natraj currently conducts regular dance classes in Queens Village, NY. Throughout the years, Natraj has assisted, and continues to assist, many cultural and religious organizations in their efforts to promote cultural awareness and respect through professional performances at various social functions, fundraisers and cultural events. Garnering internationSpecialtiesNatraj prides itself in its ability fuse modern innovations in dance with old-world grace and dignity, all the while maintaining reverence for the legacy passed on by Indian artistes for centuries. This is what has empowered Natraj to set - and continually raise - the standard for excellence in our dance community.
