About the company
Ragamala Dance, a woman-owned, non-profit dance company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a culturally distinct performing arts organization that specializes in South Asian classical dance forms, particularly Bharatanatyam. The company, registered in SAM.gov since 2005, is led by choreographers Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy and focuses on creating innovative dance performances that explore cultural narratives and artistic interpretations. Through its federal grant awards, Ragamala Dance engages with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support artistic development, performance creation, and national touring initiatives.
The organization has consistently received project grants from the NEA to support various dance-related initiatives, with a notable focus on developing and touring specific performance works. Recent grant awards demonstrate a comprehensive approach to artistic creation and community engagement, including support for the development and national tour of "Children of Dharma," a large-scale stage work choreographed by Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy. The grants have funded different stages of the project, from initial development in 2023 to national touring planned for 2025-2026. Previous grants have also supported touring of other dance works like "Fires of Varanasi" and provided funding for digital and outdoor dance programming during the COVID-19 period. These NEA project grants, typically ranging from one to two years, enable Ragamala Dance to create, develop, and present culturally rich dance performances while maintaining a commitment to community engagement and artistic innovation.
