About
Taara at UCLA is an award-winning, competitive Indian Classical dance team that combines various classical dance styles including, but not limited to Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, and Kuchipudi to create innovative routines that preserve the traditional beauty of classical dance and provide an explorative venue for modern-day storytelling. Founded in Fall 2013, Taara is comprised of a small group of driven UCLA students who are committed to the preservation of the classical arts and its relevance in future generations. In addition to our competitive team, we perform at various events throughout UCLA and in the Southern California region, including corporate, non-profit, and personal events.
