AKKA and Nrupathunga Kannada Koota extend a warm welcome to all Kannada Associations to WKC 2012.
As you are all aware, Meravanige is an integral and eminent part of any AKKA World Conference.
“Folk Dances of Karnataka” is the chosen theme for AKKA 2012 Meravanige. The Meravanige Team would love for all participating Kannada Kootas to showcase various folk dance forms across Karnataka. Kannada Kootas are welcome to include any festival as part of your presentation (not a requirement).
Please find below, some of the folk dance forms and festivals for your reference.
The folk dances picked by other Kannada Kootas are listed in the form. The list is
updated as and when we receive this information. We would like to showcase as many
unique folk dance forms as possible, for everyone to enjoy. So we request that you
select a folk dance that has NOT been already picked by another Kannada Koota.
We
request that you fill the form and send to us at your earliest convenience. We eagerly
look forward to your participation in Mervanige at WKC 2012!
Please email the completed form to akkawkc2012meravinge@googlegroups.com
