A Proud Tradition: 17+ Years of Classical Music and Ethnic Dance in the Valley

ABOUT US

Founded in 2008, Indo American Cultural Connect (IACConnect) began as a heartfelt initiative by a group of devoted enthusiasts—artists, volunteers, and admirers alike—united by their deep love for the timeless traditions of Indian classical music and dance.

Guided by a shared passion and a vision to preserve and celebrate the rich artistic heritage of India, these founding members came together not just to enjoy the art, but to ensure it continues to flourish across generations and geographies.

Over the years, IACConnect has blossomed into a vibrant cultural bridge, partnering with schools, dance academies, music institutions, and community organizations. Together, we create platforms for both local and visiting artists to share their talents, enriching the cultural fabric of our community and inspiring a lifelong appreciation for the classical arts.
