PENNaach, the University of Pennsylvania's premier South Asian Dance Troupe was founded in 1997 to promote South Asian culture through forms of traditional, classical and modern dance. Naach is the oldest surviving Indian fusion dance team in the country. PENNaach's unique pieces fuse South Asian dance styles with Western dance styles. The team performs in competitions and showcases both on and off-campus. An annual show each February presents self-choreographed pieces with styles from Bharatnatyam and Kathak to Garba and Bhangra to Modern Bollywood and Hip Hop and much more. Dancers on the team have the opportunity to learn many different dance styles as a result.&nbsp;&nbsp;

PENNaach

Penn's premier all-female South Asian fusion dance troupe

Naach has given me a strong community of women who I am consistently inspired by everyday. It has helped me find my home at Penn and has made me a better dancer.

Naach is an amazing community. Before coming to Penn, I was blessed to be a part of and involved in different communities at home, and I wasn’t really sure if I would ever find a family like that in college. Even though I haven’t been on the team for that long, I’m so happy that I joined Naach and am so grateful to be a part of such a welcoming and wonderful community.
