Vishwa Shanthi Performing Arts (VSPA), led by the Artistic Director, Shreelata Suresh, has had the privilege of performing in several events, amidst several types of audiences, here in the United States of America and abroad. Through various productions often presented with a crisp and fresh perspective, we are continually striving to showcase dance and allied arts in its purest.

We have performed for several years at the prestigious San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival having won their competitive auditions. VSPA dancers have performed at the International Dance Festival in Prague and won awards in solo and group categories. We have also performed at the December Music and Dance festivals in Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram and New Delhi.

Through thematic presentations, VSPA has completed several successful fundraisers for cultural, religious of various denominations and medical research institutions in the Bay Area namely, Shiva Murugan Temple, Concord, Sivananda Yoga Farm, Mercy Center, Shadika, Brain Tumor foundation and the Shiva Vishnu Temple, Livermore.

The use of the whole space is one of the hallmarks of VSPA performances – movement accompanied by effortless change in formations, and flashes of speed interspersed with graceful stillness. The audience is often left mesmerized by the symmetry and the synchronized movements of the dancers, the dramatic expressions and the ability to convey the story to the uninitiated audiences. In short, the entire experience is akin to a form of collective meditation centering on beauty, movement, sacred music, harmony and rhythm.
