IGNITE! is brought to you by The Gati Dance Forum

The Gati Dance Forum, New Delhi, is an independent arts organization that works in the field of contemporary dance in India. Founded in 2007 in response to the needs of the professional dance community, The Gati Dance Forum has actively searched for avenues to develop greater opportunities and infrastructure for contemporary dance.

Over the last five years, The Gati Dance Forum has worked consistently to redefine the parameters of contemporary dance in India.

Recently, with the generous support of the community, Gati built a new community space for dancers, equipped with state-of-the-art studios, a library and café, thereby realising a long-standing dream of creating infrastructure for dance in the city.
