Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy's Ragamala Dance Company is the embodiment of an immigrant story. We are a pioneering, woman-led, family-run organization driven by a quest for artistic excellence. Through the South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam, Ragamala’s work—on stage, in the community, and educating the next generation—exemplifies the intercultural identity of millions. At home in the Twin Cities and on tour worldwide, we welcome challenging modern dialogues that lead to a shared sense of humanity. Ragamala is committed to the idea that, while history is timebound, the stories we tell each other—through emotions and imagination—are timeless.
