Sacred Geometry is a favorite of audiences and company dancers, using geometric figures and shapes to describe the beauty of creation, and how absolute unity exhibits multiplicity and diversity. Whether the product of an eastern or western culture, the geometric shapes, and circular ‘mandalas’ are familiar and pervasive images throughout the history of visual and performing arts. Come celebrate Rangoli Dance Company’s 30th Anniversary with Sacred Geometry!
