Inaayat Dance Team

• Title: Student Organization Excellence in Finances

OSU Inaayat is a premier Indian Classical Dance Team. Inaayat, meaning grace in Hindi, strives to celebrate the art form of Indian Classical Dance and provides students with an open space to continue to practice their traditional dance form.  Members of Inaayat work together to choreograph multiple dance pieces that align with an overarching theme to present the community with new ideas and perspectives. Their performances infuse musicality, acting, and choreography, creating art that has an impact. Much of their work purposefully incorporates references to prominent social justice topics, contributing to their dedication to education. Having performed in Pittsburgh the previous year and planning to compete in Raleigh this year, the members are driven and consistent in their commitment to creativity and their common goals. Overall, Inaayat is a group that uses art as a form of advocacy and empowerment in the Ohio State community.
