- 3. International Dance Retreat 3 You can relax at the pool, get a massage or spa treatment, visit the French colonies, dance, listen to live music, watch the amazing dance for camera movies, explore your spiritual side at the Matrimandir, go to the beach and so on and so forth. The possibilities are endless. The International Dance Retreat began as an idea that sparked between the founders while they were teaching some workshops at the Centre for Research in Performing Arts (CRIPA) in Auroville, Pondicherry. The energy that the space exuded was so uplifting that they all decided to share it with people from various cultural backgrounds in India as well as people from all corners of the world. “We all have travelled far and wide, seen the world and experienced different cultures. Nothing brings you more joy than exchanging stories of that one-cup of espresso that you shared in the cobbled streets of Italy; or sharing that feeling you experienced when you were on top of the Empire State Building, looking over the city of New York. Movement has always been that one medium through which you are able to transcend any cultural or geographical boundaries and express yourself. So what better way to share our stories than through dance? ” - Swapnil Dagliya, Founding Member, International Dance Retreat Join us as we celebrate your stories, your culture and your expression. Join us as we celebrate ‘YOU’. CRIPA Centre for Research in Performing Arts, Auroville - Pondicherry

It was named after the largest enclave of this four ‘Pondicherry’. It is the most important tourist destination in Tamil Nadu for national as well as International Tourists. There is a Shri Aurobindo Ashram nearby and it also has lots of monuments, temples, parks and mosques to attract tourists. 2 Located, not so far away is the experimental township that is ‘Auroville’. Started on 28th February 1968, Auroville is a universal township in the making, off the coast of Pondicherry for a population from around the world. Auroville aims to realize human unity in diversity. The Matrimandir – an outstanding piece of architecture, is a symbol of the Divine’s answer to man’s inspiration for perfection. The entire area surrounding the Matrimandir is called the ‘Peace Area’. “Pondicherry can be different things for different people. It could be a tranquil serene place for people in search of spirituality, un-intruding quiet for a romantic twosome or a trip down history for a student.”
