Nach Baliye -Indian dance

Nach Baliye (= dancing buddies) is a collective-based performing dance group with its own dance studio in Turku in Finland. Nach Baliye represents love for movement and for Indian dances and culture. 

Nach Baliye Kollektiv dances a variety of Indian styles focusing on traditional and folk dances from the state of Rajasthan. Group has learned styles from multiple teachers both from Europe and from India. Nach Baliye is the only group in Finland performing traditional Chari dance. 

Nach Baliye is more than just a dance group, it is a community and dance family with four members: Mari Moilanen, Saija Heinonen, Sanna Soni and Emma Vironmäki. We have learnt Indian dances widely from teachers around the world; Sanna and Saija also multiple times in India. All choreographies are created either together or by some of Nach Baliye’s dancers.
