Welcome to the Nepal Dance School, located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. NDS is dedicated to promoting cultural diversity and enrichment through the mediums of dance and music instruction, performances, and programs.
NDS works with Young Audiences of Virginia, an organization dedicated to presenting unique arts-in-education programs. We also participate with and other groups, such as IDEA (Indian Dance Educators Association), the India International School in Chantilly, the Lorton Workhouse Center for the Arts, and the Fairfax Park and Recreation Department (Audrey Moore ReCenter).
Our aim is to bring the beauty of dance and music to a wider audience, and in so doing, help to perpetuate the long-standing traditions of Asian heritage. Our performances include student participation and visual presentations that make learning about customs, history, and cultures exciting and fun. NDS school programs easily integrate and complement SOL and other state requirements.

Winter Tour in North Carolina
We were invited to come to North Carolina on tour for global education projects, which included performances for middle school and college level students in the Appalachian Mountains. The Bollywood dance workshops that followed these programs were a great success. It was wonderful welcoming students of local dance styles, such as clogging, to learn modern and Nepali folk dance. The area and residents were extraordinarily friendly and welcoming, and we look forward to being invited back again later this year for more programs and workshops.
