From time to time, Nrityamala Dance Academy dedicates itself in fundraising activities by initializing, organizing and performing for charity events motivated by Uma with her modest, yet strong, inspiring leadership. These events include benefits to: Community Cancer Center, Children’s Hospital, Red Cross, Salvation Army, American Heart Association, and Hindu temples. Furthermore, NDA actively participates in finding relief for victims of natural disasters and human causes such as the Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and performances for senior citizen centers and Diversity Fairs for the youth. We recognize the importance of giving back to our local and global communities, and we do so by opening up our hearts through Dance.
