My family and I will try to make it to this event. The Indian dancers from Anjali Dance Company should be quite good -- I watched the director and two of her teachers dance at MFAH and they were awesome. I also got to make friends with them afterward and found them to be very friendly. We had a great time conversing as there are great similarities between various Indian dances and Indonesian Balinese dance, which I was trained in. I am not sure what Indonesian dances will be performed by the dancers affiliated with the Indonesian consulate but I would love to see them as I have been meaning to make contact with that group. Maybe I'll see you at this event!
