Help UCD Sunataya Shine on the Competitive Stage!

The UC Davis Sunataya Dance Team, a vibrant group of talented individuals passionate about showcasing the beauty of Bharatanatyam, is gearing up for an exciting season of competitions. These competitions allow us to share our cultural heritage, celebrate diversity, and represent our university with pride. However, we need your support to make it happen.

Why We Need Your Help: Competing at this level requires extensive preparation and resources, including costumes, travel expenses, registration fees, and more. These costs can quickly add up, and as a student-led team, we rely heavily on the generosity of our community to make our dreams a reality.

What Your Donation Will Support:

Costumes and Props: To authentically represent our culture and bring our choreography to life.

Travel and Lodging: To participate in both Seattle, Washington, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Competition Fees: To enter prestigious competitions where we can showcase our art and potentially go to nationals.

Our Vision: With your help, the Sunataya Dance Team will not only compete but inspire. We aim to foster a sense of pride in our cultural roots and create a bridge between tradition and modernity through the universal language of dance.

How You Can Help: Every dollar counts. Whether you contribute $10, $50, or $100, your support will directly impact our ability to perform and represent UC Davis on a national stage. Together, we can ensure that our story of culture, dedication, and artistry continues to grow.
