I'm close to a woman who studied with Balasaraswhati and her daughter Lakshmi when there were connected to the Center for World Music in Berkeley, CA. Initially, the Center for World Music was a part of Mills College, Oakland.
Musicians and dancers came from all over the world and trained American dancers, performed...it was THRILLING!
It's wonderful to know that you are planning to raise money for the arts!
GRACIAS! GRACIAS! GRACIAS!
There's a wonderful video by Douglas Knight online re: Bala and her contributions to classical Indian dance. It's wonderful to hear and read what Douglas has to say. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for you good deeds.

I think this is a good step / change. I've been to several School fundraising events and the demographic of the participants is very different than the school demographic. I think finding cultural interests that help encourage participation in the schools is an excellent way to engage a part of the community that isn't interested in some of the other events.good job.
