Indian Dance performance in Champaign Dec. 10

Odissi: Classical Dance of India

December 10, 7:00 pm at the Spurlock Museum at the University of Illinois Campus

From the calendar: "This performance is arranged and sponsored by Kalapriya Foundation (Pranita Jain, Artistic Director), co-sponsored by the Spurlock Museum, and supported in part by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency."

There's not much more information, or a pretty photo to share about this, so I can just give a link to the UIUC calendar entry. If you like Indian dance, it sounds like a good time!
