My Story

We are dancers, but really, we’re storytellers – sharing our culture’s spirit, not just steps. Winning the Bismillah Khan award pushed us to do more. Trikayaa Dance Foundation is our way to keep ancient art alive. Dance means more than movement, it’s a spiritual thing, like the aghoris say: aghor do shabdon se bana hai, 'a' aur 'ghor', matlab andhere ke bina (made of two words, meaning ‘without darkness’). We put this warrior energy into our Mayurbhanj Chhau. Seeing kids and women perform this, wow, that’s pride. Our work is all about keeping our virasat (heritage) moving forward.
