     The Vanaver Caravan will present an evening of World Dance & Music at the Ashokan Center during a weekend celebration of the 50th Birthdays of the International Community of Auroville in India and Matagiri in Mount Tremper (www.matagiri.org/events).
     The concert will include percussive dance with Joel Hanna (long time Company member and world renowned step dancer) and special guests from Rajasthan, India with whom we have a cultural exchange.  It will be a colorful, multi-ethnic event alight with the joy of discovery.
