NCPA Nrityaparichay is a CSR initiative, supported by corporate organisations, which seeks to impart classical dance training to children from underprivileged backgrounds. Apart from dance training, students are also provided with a rich understanding of the traditions and customs of the place of origin of each dance form. The programme encompasses visits to the NCPA to watch dance performances by renowned artistes and provides necessary exposure in terms of technicality in relation to dance. Students learn a particular classical form which culminates in a stage performance by them at the NCPA. Having conducted successful programmes for the last seven years, the NCPA currently has projects running across 14 schools in Mumbai. Students of Nrityaparichay perform on a regular basis with their teachers in recognised dance competitions and festivals.
