Malavika Sarukkai is all set to present Chennai with the latest edition of the ‘Dance for Dance’ festival!
This Christmas, the margazhi season in Chennai will crescendo to one of the most awaited dance festivals that finally makes its way to the city after quite a hiatus, thanks to the COVID-19 lockdowns. The Dance for Dance festival presented by Kalavaahini was started in 2018 and was in response to the need for a well curated festival where both junior and senior artistes could share their work in an environment conducive to fostering excellence.
