The fundamental intent of Taal is to promote
awareness of South Asian dance, thereby promoting awareness of both
Indian culture and the arts. The organization serves to establish a
forum for South Asian dance, open to all members of the
Barnard/Columbia community. It is a medium through which the many
students who have studied South Asian dance may continue the art
through choreography and performance. Taal also provides students with
an interest in South Asian dance an dculture with an opportunity to
explore the art by attending performances, rehearsals, and workshops.
