    Parijat Desai Dance Company performs an elegant and exciting blend of bharata natyam and modern/postmodern dance. Working at the intersections between movement techniques, choreographer Desai evolves a South Asian American aesthetic while exploring themes of spirituality, struggle, and transformation. Critics have described their performances as "matching technical sophistication with thematic relevance" (Los Angeles Times) and as a "tensely fluid...unusual fusion" (Dance Magazine). PDDC is currently in residence at Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
