About USC Drishti
USC Drishti represents a dream realized—a classical Indian dance organization founded in 2010 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA. What began as a personal vision by founder Maithreyi Shankar has grown into a thriving student organization that serves as a cultural bridge between traditional Indian arts and the Los Angeles community. The team operates as more than just a performance group; they function as a family united by their passion for Bharatanatyam dance and their commitment to sharing this art form with Western audiences.
Located at USC in Los Angeles, California, USC Drishti embodies a spirit of collaboration and inclusivity. The organization welcomes classical style dancers from diverse backgrounds, believing that fusion and artistic exchange strengthen their collective work. Members describe their time together as a familial experience, where the joy of performing and creating together is as important as the final product. This community-oriented approach has resonated deeply with audiences throughout Los Angeles, who have embraced their performances with enthusiasm and appreciation.
The organization's commitment extends beyond performances to building genuine connections with their audience and potential members. USC Drishti actively maintains a blog showcasing their work and regularly invites the Los Angeles community to join their performances or become part of their ensemble. Whether you're interested in experiencing classical Indian dance, learning about Bharatanatyam, or becoming part of their artistic family, USC Drishti welcomes all inquiries and collaboration opportunities from those who share their passion for this beautiful art form.
