Dr. Ananya Chatterjea, an associate professor of dance at the University of Minnesota, brought three members of the Ananya Dance Group to Rotary. They will be performing at the Holmes Theatre on Sat., Nov. 8 and are also doing several outreach activities at schools and dance studios in the community this week. One of the dancers is Detroit Lakes native Brittany Radke who owns a dance studio in the Twin Cities. A native of Calcutta, India, Dr. Chatterjea moved to Minnesota in 1998. Ananya uses dance to demonstrate social injustice, to unleash latent energy and to provoke hope and help us surpass our potential. Other members that were at Rotary included Renee Copeland and Katie Haines. Together they ended the Rotary program with an interactive dance. Many of the Rotarians have a trait of being reticent Midwesterners so participation was limited.
