520 _aClassical Indian dance forms have existed and evolved over centuries facing each challenge to its very existence and structure.

While recognition continues to be their primary dream, creating a successful ‘business’ is often an elusive dream. And the year 2020-21 shut more doors for these entrepreneurs.
