Colorful ballet captivates audience in Wesley Chapel performance

September 5, 2018 By Special to The Laker/Lutz News

Dancers wearing intricate costumes moved with precision during a compelling performance from the famous Kuchipudi Ballet, ‘Kalyana Srinivasam,’ on Aug. 25 at the Center for the Arts at Wesley Chapel, 30651 Wells Road. This was the first time the ballet was performed in the Tampa Bay area. The free event featured detailed choreography, storytelling, singing, music, and the classical Indian dance form known as Kuchipudi.
