Founded by Vera Evgrafova in 1987 because of her love for Indian art and culture, Mayuri Indian Dance Group’s dancing repertoire consists of more than 200 dances, in various styles, themes and musical arrangement.
Mayuri performs a wide range of Indian dances including Bharatanatyam, Kathak and Kuchipudi and also a variety of folk dances from various Indian states. At the same time, the group doesn’t shy away from experimenting and collaborating with other genres like Spanish and Russian folk.
Beyond dancing, Mayuri Group has been promoting Indian culture in the cold region of Karelia through teaching and performing Indian dance. As per their website, the group also indulges in Hindi lessons, lectures on Indian culture and mythology.
