Agni is an Indian Classical Dance Team specializing in the south Indian dance style, Bharatanatyam. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are transitioning into the national competitive circuit as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week. Auditions are held in the Fall and over the Summer. Information on joining can be obtained through our social media (@agni_minnesota on Instagram) or via email (agni@umn.edu).

Our mission: Agni Indian Classical Dance Team aims to provide an environment for individuals to embrace and immerse themselves in Indian culture and dance. Bharatanatyam is a popular dance form in the states, but many students lose touch with the art when they move to university. We strive to motivate individuals to get involved with their communities through dance and promote diversity through sharing our culture and art.

What do we do? Agni is a primarily Bharatanatyam-focused dance team, hence the name Agni, as Bharatanatyam represents the element of fire. We perform at on campus and off campus events and are looking into competitions as well. Our practices and performances are currently fully in person and twice a week for one hour each.

How can I get involved? At the beginning of each semester we hold a no-commitment workshop, where you'll learn a short piece (30sec-1min) that you can later choose to audition with. Results are announced within a week.

Leadership: As an Agni officer (President, Secretary, Marketing Director, or Finance Director), you learn organizational and management skills when reaching out to organizations for performances, coordinating practices, or advertising and promoting the group. In terms of dance, officers use choreography as a creative outlet and gain valuable teaching skills.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We are more than just a dance team, we provide a means to connect to our historical and cultural roots. Our main dance form is Bharatanatyam, a classical dance originating in Tamil Nadu, India over 3000 years ago. Modernized in the late 1900's it's an integral part of Indian culture and familiar throughout South Asia.

Recreation and Health: Being a part of Agni is a great way for you to express your passion for dance while maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. We motivate each other to step out of our comfort zones and become better dancers. Not only do we promote physical health, but also mental health, as we're a family where you can take a break from the stress of school and life in general!
