Prayukti was created to nurture an intentional community for the arts across the Bay Area through Indian classical dance classes and performances and movement-based community events. The Prayukti Arts community is dedicated to creating platforms where seasoned artists, rasikas, and students of art can come together and bond over a common appreciation for art.
