PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS OF NOORANI DANCE ARE PROVIDED THROUGH VARIOUS PROGRAMS INCLUDING MEHFIL-E-KATHAK, AND A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY PERFORMANCES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ORGANIZATIONS IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. ADVANCED STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE NOORANI DANCE COMPANY,

IN 2018, A PERFORMING GROUP FOR THE INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED CHILDREN WAS FORMED - YASMEEN KI KALIYAN, THE FLOWERING BUDS OF JASMINE - OFFERING SIMILAR OPPORTUNITIES TO GAIN EXPERIENCE THROUGH PERFORMANCE. AFTER MANY YEARS OF ADVANCED TRAINING, STUDENTS OF NOORANI DANCE RECEIVING IN DEPTH ONE TO ONE TRAINING FROM FARAH, MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN MANZIL KE ANDAAZ - THE MANY ASPECTS OF ONE'S JOURNEY. THIS IS THE FIRST PERFORMANCE OF A KATHAK SOLO, WHICH IS NEITHER THE BEGINNING NOR THE END.
