Erasing Borders Festival of Indian Dance is widely regarded as the most reputed festival of Indian dance in North America. As an artist, performing in this festival gives you the opportunity to showcase your dance on a great platform – the festival receives significant media attention, and is reviewed by noted critics.

Yes. Artists are paid an honorarium for presenting their work at the festival. Since we are a non-profit, our means for providing financial support to artists are limited. The fee amount is comparable to other New York arts non-profits.
Note: Selected artists for the virtual festival will receive $250-500 for production value. Please submit a sample budget plan of up to $250-500 for the final production to account for videography, editing, or other needs.

Yes, we present solos as well as groups (duets, trios, quartets, or larger!)

If you are applying to perform at the live festival:
You need to submit a video of the work that you intend to perform. You should submit 2 videos.

1) Submit videos of past choreography.

2) Submit your concept proposal in 100-150 words and send a video (as a work-in-progress). You do not need to submit a video shot using a professional camera – you can submit a video shot using your phone, so long as the quality of the video is good and your dance can be seen well.
