Outreach

“Do something for somebody every day for which you don’t get paid.” – Albert Schweitzer

Dancing makes you strong. Flexible. Aware of your surroundings. It makes you trust your teammates completely. It’s like the flying trapeze – when the gymnast lets go of the rung for a double back-flip, he doesn’t just trust, he knows when he reaches out, he’ll find the hands to hold him.

If only it worked the same way in our civilized societies.

Nritarutya has been involved in charitable and outreach activities right from day one. In a year, we choose two prime projects to lend a hand.If you want us to support your organization then- Contact.We see ourselves as lucky, gifted people, not because we’re artists or dancers, but because we lead comfortable safe lives. And we see so many who don’t. That’s where our resolve comes from.
