When productivity becomes a trap, art becomes an act of rebellion.
Let’s be honest... When you’re planning your monthly budget, “dance show” isn’t going to be on the top of your list. You’ve got bills to pay and an endless cycle of daily stress to navigate. But this is more than just a dance show. It is a mission for our collective sanity. If you are feeling burnt out by a world that treats people like cogs in a machine, this is for you. Trapped in the machine Living in a hyper-competitive late-stage capitalist culture where time is money, we are conditioned to believe that your worth equals what you produce. Chase commercial trends.

Navatman and Baila Society joined forces in 2024 for a uniquely New York City experience: a place where two women-led arts organizations based in the cultural traditions of Afro-Latinx arts (Salsa, Latin Hustle, Afro-Cuban) and Indian arts (Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Hindustani and Carnatic music) come together. In this shared space, we explore how the force of artists and students working together can promote, define, and create a sense of stability and strength, joy and love within communities at large - particularly through artistic endeavors.
