MIT's South Asian Fusion Dance Team
"The absolute pinnacle of the show was MIT Chamak, a troupe that
skillfully managed to intertwine traditional Indian and modern dancing.
The dance somehow took the traditional Indian dance form, Bharat Natyam,
and brought to it a drum and bass beat, slinky black tops, and a little
bit of hand-flapping that coordinated well with lighting effects. For
those both familiar and unfamiliar with Indian dance, there was
something ripe and electrifying about their well-choreographed dance
that made it the best performance of the evening, technically and
aesthetically..."
