Sutradhar Institute of 
Dance & Related Arts 

Kids are introduced to the epic Ramayana through storytelling, martial arts, yoga, mask and prop-making, Sanskrit (the language of the epic), poetry, rangoli (floor painting) and creative writing. 

This program culminates into a staged performance with the campers retelling the Ramayana in their own way. Our Ramayana takes place on Sutradhar's outside stage Thursday July 13th 2023 at 1pm. 

The camp has been operating for nearly 30 years, with children returning year after year, first attending as junior campers and then later as camp counselors.

This year there will be a focus on

Camper Quotes:


"I think the class is interesting because it let's you practice dance but makes it fun.  Plus you get to draw the story and imagine you are writing a book."  ~Leela Brennig


"I like the story telling because it is fun."  ~Ranvita Sen


"I also like story telling because it gives everyone a chance to have fun and draw." ~Alma Wong
