Rangasri Little Ballet Troupe

About LBT

Founded in 1952 by Shanti Bardhan in Mumbai, The Little Ballet Troupe pioneered a revolutionary approach to Indian ballet. Breaking from traditional star-performer formats, we draw inspiration from rich folk traditions to create truly collaborative performances. Our name reflects not a limitation, but our commitment to authentic artistic expression through collective creativity. The troupe's founding vision continues to guide us: integrating India's diverse cultural heritage into performances that prioritize artistic excellence over mere showmanship.
