Tandav: Inclusive Dance Festival in Bangalore

We are back! Tandav is a festival built over 10 years by dedicated volunteers. It's more than an event; it's a celebration of a decade of inclusive community building in Bangalore.

Hear directly from one of our original members about the power of Tandav. For 10 years, this has been India's festival of inclusion, a place where people from all walks of life come together.

The energy at Tandav is electric! We get everyone moving, from kids to volunteers to our mascot, because we believe that everybody can dance. The josh is always high!

Experience the powerful, rhythmic beats of Shinkari Melam, a traditional Keralan drum performance that is a major highlight and crowd favorite at every Tandav festival.

The celebration starts with the vibrant beats of the dhol. Here you can see the excitement as we kick off the Tandav festival, bringing together participants and volunteers in a shared moment of joy.

Watch our kids take the stage! Their performances are the heart of Tandav. We create a platform for them to shine, and their energy and talent light up the entire festival.

Pure, uninhibited joy. These children are the reason we organize Tandav. Their happiness drives our community of volunteers to dedicate their time and energy every single weekend.

A moment of focus and fun. A young participant learns a new dance move at the Tandav festival, completely absorbed in the rhythm and the supportive atmosphere around her.

Our dance workshops are designed for everyone. Here, an instructor leads the crowd through a fun, accessible routine, showing how we get up in the morning through dance moves. It's all about participation.
