Thaalam is proud to present Nerukku Ner- the dance battle in order to enhance the platform for our Tamil youth dancers. The Arts & Culture council of CTYA is thrilled to collaborate with Tamil One television channel to bring forth yet another great initiative, a dance battle for our Tamil youth to showcase the power of dance.
Through Nerukku Ner, Tamil youth will have another avenue to represent and strengthen their knowledge of Tamil culture, history and arts while showcasing their talents and expressing their identity through dance. The Arts and Culture Council of CTYA strives to create an environment for youth that are inspiring and conducive of self-expression through the arts and culture. Among its key objectives are the improvement, re-orientation and expansion of programs that promote the arts and Tamil culture to Canadian Tamil youth and the broader Canadian community.
Nerukku Ner will be a knockout style dance battle that will be held over a period of 12 to 14 weeks and will be aired on Tamil One television channel. Each team must consist of a minimum of 4 dancers to a maximum of 6 dancers. Tamil One is the proud sponsor of Nerukku Ner cash prizes. Champions will be awarded a $1000 cash prize and the Runner Up will be awarded a $500 cash prize.
The Arts and Culture Council is currently accepting applications for teams to participate in the dance battle. Please send in the names of your team members, school/university/college names, phone numbers and email addresses to arts.culture@ctya.org before November 9th 2013. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. There will be auditions prior to final admittance to the battle and an orientation session will be held prior to commencement of the show.
